We'll all take what we want from the game.
My take...
We were better than last week (couldn't possibly be much worse)
The players did come to play, and the effort and attitude early on was quite good.
They did fly the flag when teammates were monstered
But I suspect it reached a point around the end of the first quarter where they felt they'd done enough to exorcise the ghosts of last week and they dropped the intensity.
Too many went missing after a good start.
Our skill level remains deplorable especially when a little bit of pressure is applied.
and finally....
The umpires were horrendous, and I'm one who normally just ignores it when folks blame the umpiring, but...
We need to make a formal complaint about it....because there were enough examples today of just terrible decisions.
