The hustle was there, but we lacked chemistry and timing as a team, and several of us are rusty (or sick) individually. We were lucky to get this win, down in the first half, rallying in the second half, and then nearly giving the game away at the end. I expect great things from our Thunder, but when the work ethic isn't there, I'm not surprised that we struggled.
We probably had more turnovers than baskets. Unless the work ethic returns, we will continue to be stagnant and erratic. How hungry are you, Thunder? The PAA playoffs are around the corner. Are we going to bring our best? Or will be be satisfied with sloppy basketball?
There are few real gifts in this world, and success as a team is never handed down to anybody. It is earned. Time to earn it, Thunder.
