Ok. Good end to the half...keep it up!
Call me just a blind homer/optimist, but I'm not that worried when the M's get down such as they did/are today. I'm not saying that they are in fact a true championship caliber team or that they will win it--that remains to be seen, but there is a common belief, something that is said and heard often about teams that have the true potential to win a champion and those who actually do it, its the belief that they have that extra gear. I see it as teams have a regular season gear a playoff gear and then those team's, those special few and far between teams have that "extra gear." The M's to be on defense-which we all know win championships-have that ability to keep it up a notch....So kick it up a notch Monarchs, like you did the last 6-7 min, and the rest should take care of its self.
To begin the game they weren't settled. You see it happen all the time with the Kings. They'll start going, shooting everywhere, not even acknowledging the shot clock and then teams start to so the same and they just can't keep up. The M's can't get in a shoot out with the Storm like they did to start the team. They have to be poised, patient and run their offense so that they have a chance to set up that defense!
Lets go Monarchs!
