Just don't know what to make of these guys. We sure don't play like the mature team we are supposed to be. Turnover turnover turnover. Killing me.

How wonder how many of the missed free throws is because we are dog tired from their pressure?

Either that or we are dialed in mentally. For the of god, do not miss the front end of 1and 1
