[QUOTE="Tommy_Taylor_1972, post: 992101, member: 6776"] MtnWasp, what I saw in the BC game was a team coming to Atlanta ready to play and playing for a full 40 minutes. Coach Earl Grant, who played his college ball at D2 Georgia college in Milledgeville 1998-2000 and likely put lots of focus on this game in his home state. Our team is not conditioned yet to play hard defense and then run the break and get 5 players down to set for the three pointers, or the guards driving with no rebounders present. I think it is more physical that mental that 2nd halves are less intense. I do know that guards who drive the lane and kick it out use up lots of energy, especially in getting back on defense against running teams. Down by 17 at half, Earl made a defensive adjustment to better cover the hot shooters and close out our inside game. Mental mistakes happen more when physical fatigue happens, whether mental mistakes of coaches getting technical fouls triggered by emotions or players calling unnecessary time outs. Playing most of the 2nd half with one time out hinders in-game adjustments. The two players in their post game interview correctly put the blame on themselves as letting up knowing that they should have had a second half like the first half. They did not mention the officials nor anyone else, only looking inward. That is what will make for winning more games, being better conditioned and not making mental mistakes which lead to physical mistakes. It make take playing up to 10 players in every game to accomplish the above if the philosophy is to go full speed 40 minutes every game. The better conditioned a player is, the quicker he can recover and get back in the game. [/QUOTE]
