The Official Shocks vs. Colorado Game Thread - Puerto Rican Style

Don't think we played that great and we're up 7. I'll take it.

[JaminShock]

GREAT awareness by Toure to get 2 for 1.

[kstarheel]

Not a bad half.... can get much, much better.

[GoShockers89]

Bad news- that was a pretty crappy half.

Good news- even with a sub-par showing so far, we're still up 7.

Not a bad half for the first REAL game of the year. Not great, but good enough.

I think our defensive and overall intensity and depth can wear them down. Let's build on the lead.

Those gray unis really show the sweat... I miss the black...

Go Shox!!!

Agree. We played like crap at times, but we were always getting some key boards to help us maintain the game.

[ShockerFever]

Need to put the clamps down on them in the second half.

[jocoshock]

Make some adjustments coach... put the hammer down...

[Aargh]

It's a good thing the 3's are falling, because nothing else is working very well.

I'll give credit for some of that to Boyle. The Buffs look well-prepared and their plan on D is being executed pretty well to take the Shox out of a lot of things they want to do.

We fell into this style of play many times last year. It will take some time for the team to find its rhythm. But they need to get the ball inside more in the second half. Of course we also need players who can score inside when they get it. Stutz showed some mild improvement. He needs to get aggressive.

14-14 on the boards. We never made it to the FT line even once... That has to change....

Stutz is actually our leading rebounder (surprise) with 4....

Need to be better on the boards - get the ball to the basket and draw some fouls - we haven't been to the line yet.

I would have sworn we ware beating them on the boards, but they had a few possessions where they got two or three within seconds of each other.

We have 4 steals as opposed to their 1.
