How to get through a rough night?

[Scrapper1]

For me, the thing that helps me re-focus is talking to myself. Where's my matchup? Where's the defense? Which way is the arrow? Which foot is the pivot? Where's the shooter? Watch the cutter. Watch the screener.

I'm not saying that I say all that on every possession. But if I find myself drifting mentally in the game, these are the things I try to focus on, and I mentally tell myself to find them. It may sound like a silly distinction, but I'm not just standing there saying, "I wonder where my matchup is." It's almost like a command to myself. "Find the matchup". It makes me re-focus.
