“If a team is performing well only half a game, the team is not performing well period” is one of those phrases that only sounds like it makes sense if you say it quickly but is actually completely nonsensical. In addition to contradicting yourself within the quote (if you perform well for half of a game believe it or not you ARE performing well at times…period) you’re ignoring 50% of the team’s performance.
Games are not 20 minutes long. YOU actually need that to be true for your point to have any validity at all. Because you don’t just believe a win is a win, right? That’s okay I don’t always either but saying the 2nd half is garbage & meaningless no matter what happens just because the first half is subpar is once again hyperbolic & honestly just illogical. The game is won at the end of the 2nd half, not the first. You’d rather they be 0-6 than 6-0? Of course not.
And nobody is criticizing you for pointing out the obvious trend that their first halves have been poor. I’m pretty sure literally every single poster here is dissapointed in their first halves, realizes it’s an issue and thinks there will be problems against better teams if it isn’t improved. Who that you’ve interacted with here has denied that? Honestly has anyone? You’re rubbing people wrong because it’s ALL you talk about. Not that you need to be a basketball savant to understand this but the posters here are all smart enough to understand playing 2 good halves of basketball is preferable to just 1. Most of us just choose to observe and discuss the team as a whole. If you’re style of rooting and fandom is to only focus on the negatives unless your team is dominating that’s your right but have the self awareness to realize (and not act shocked) that it may not be most peoples cup of tea.
