Soft Battle Redux - Kings at Wolves GDT

[SameOldNudityDrew]

Damn, totally self-inflicted wound last night. All those missed FTs, the really dumb turnovers, and the techs (I know the Kings missed those FTs, but why give them the chance?). When we're locked in and making decent decisions, we're a good team. Even when our shot isn't falling like at the beginning of the game, out defense was keeping it within striking distance. The flat play at the end was disappointing, because that was a lack of effort. You could tell as soon as we fell behind by 6-8 or so in overtime, our fight just gave out. That's bad, but we were only in that situation because of the mistakes during regulation. We just can't shoot ourselves in the foot like that and expect to win against decent teams. Ant in particular can look like Michael Jordan for a stretch and then turn around and just make the most careless, sloppy play out of nowhere. It's just weird. I think you're totally right, Kiwi, about the importance of getting JMac back to steady the ship.
