Can't say that loss was unexpected but we played a fairly decent game, especially in the first half, to stay with them. Nice to see Harding actually score a few points as well.

Colts up next who have been pretty poor this season, so it's definitely a winnable game. Force and Daman back so they'll probably come straight back into the starting lineup, and we'll shift Harding back to SF. Probably give Mousey the instruction that if we're getting dominated by bigger players there to rotate Daman and Harding at SG and play our bench players who are a bit bigger in the forward positions. The key is obviously shutting down Diggler, but that's easier said than done. I think we'll probably try and play a slow game again just to try and limit the number of shots he can get. Probably worth double teaming him if he starts to get hot as well.

Starting to come to the conclusion that there's not a lot we can do really. Doesn't help that I've been poor/injured the last couple of games but we're really just a bit shit.
Someone always seems to shoot 70%+ against us, and we're lucky if someone shoots more than 50%. Just can't compete.
