Nice thread.

Lance is moving ok so far. We're down 12 - 15.

Tale of 2 half-quarters. Great start. Awful finish.

Wow. This is bad. 16 points in the 2nd quarter.

Time to step it up.

Eh, what the hell, might as well lose our composure while we're at it. That'll make things better.

This is baaaaaad. Worse I've seen this team play since the beginning of the season.

This is the worst we've played all year. No question. It's like watching vomit on a TV screen.

Two straight turnovers. Just disgusting basketball right now.

The dreaded drought in Atlanta definitely held to form in one of the worst halves of basketball I've seen in a while.

Welp, the first half was awful.

I just hope that the second one is going to be better.

Nice little run. Let's see if we can pull a New Orleans game from earlier in the year and get this miraculous comeback!

Refs have been awful on both sides.
