The moxie we had evaporated once Boo got rolled up on, it was palpable even after he came back in. He was trying to walk it off but you could tell he didn't want to do anything to make it worse. The 2nd half he was a bit more like normal and hit some big shots but not 100%. Hopefully a few days of rest and he will be back to where he was.
I honestly sensed at that moment that if we had somehow won that game, tomorrow would've been really rough, especially if Boo's issue was still lingering (which I think it would be, even though he said in the post game presser it was just a "stinger"). On top of that was some kind of shoulder injury to Preston which impacted him as well, and going up against Edey would definitely not have been just what the doctor ordered.
So, to lose by 9 points with all the missed shots and opportunities we had doesn't feel as bad to me as it would otherwise, and if we come out of this with the same health that we went into it for our game next week, that to me is an ok outcome.
