By that i mean, although he's one of our best players and free throw shooters, I have little to no faith in him hitting a meaningful shot from the field or 2 Consecutive Free throws at the end of a game. To be fair to him, he's probably exhausted from playing every second of every game, but I don't recall him hitting a big shot or 2 consecutive Free throws in that spot. I also think Joseph will become a clutch player with time. Say what you want, but he has confidence in himself. Once he gets his outside shot going, watch out.
 
do we have a breakdown of cooneys stats first 10 minutes of a half vs. second 10 . frankly going 40 full min.s seems too much.
 
The team has yet to figure out how to close games out at the foul line and in general- it's a maturation and confidence process. I did like that Kaleb wanted to get fouled and made his two. I also liked that they, on one BC posession at the end,played some great D. Hope these are both signs for improvement at the end of games.
