I thought altitude would show up in physical conditioning, but to me it looks like it's affecting how the ball travels on shots. Not to make excuses, because we have other problems in this game, but supposedly the ball travels between 3% and 7% further at 5000 feet.


Maybe we should've brought a humidor to keep the balls in like MLB uses for the Rockies

Tim Williams is pretty much the difference, with 13 points, 6-for-8 from the field, three rebounds, and an assist. Getting killed on the boards, but shooting 25% will do that to you most of the time. And going 1 for 9 on threes-- most of them good, open shots-- doesn't happen for us too often.

NM isn't exactly blowing the roof off of the place with...they've only got 38 points on 60% shooting. Problem is we're playing sloppy, a lot of dumb passes, and can't hit anything. More disappointed by our performance than impressed by theirs.

All of this. Barely getting into an offense with all the contested shots and errant passes. Making it easy for them.

I'm guessing Rajala's early entrance was meant to help give some presence in the paint and grab some rebounds, but he looks kind of lost out there. None of the guys look composed though. Maybe The Pit is just living up to its reputation.

Well, I was hoping--but we cannot hit a hoop. That means a bad night. This team just does not lose at the PIT--Amazing. There they are in New Mexico--not exactly a hot bed of Hoops--They get BIGS and good ones--We do not--Why is that I wonder. Playing them in NM is hard enough--but so early ?? Oh well--Bottom line HIT SOME SHOTS !

The good news is we're ending up with a lot of open 3 point shot opportunities. The bad news is we're either passing up the shot, or missing the shot.

I'm about to turn this off. It's painful to watch.

On a positive note, we're still playing hard despite the crappy results. Kirby was really hustling on defense...don't know why he's not getting more time.

I don't know how we have given up so many open looks under the basket.
