I didn't get to watch the second half...
You can play small and win. Pollard isn't some traditional 5, but he plays bigger than what he is and he plays tough. You can be undersized but you have to be tough. You also have to be in position. This team is atrocious at defending the ball screen with a man cutting to the bucket. When they don't guard that ball screen, they don't rotate the backside. We have seen this before. Last year they had Steve to clean up the poor D. Now they are getting exposed.
