Explain the unexplainable
If we had no talent, we wouldn't be able to hang with the best.
We beat the bad teams like we should.
But, no idea what's happening in the middle.
Bad luck? Now, we have the magic on deck who fit into this mid tier..

Re: Explain the unexplainable
Interesting find. Probably says more about focus and inability to get up for those games. Don’t really have the talent to out talent mid teams without focus especially when all we really can do is shoot.

Re: Explain the unexplainable
I wonder how that aligns with players missing games?

Re: Explain the unexplainable
what to explain? lets look at these games.... i think its more on Kerr that not able to capitalize on bad teams by playing terrible players like Waters Schroder and TJD too much
Suns (1-2) trying to go all offense and failed to score , and not playing enough defense at the same time
Spurs (0-1) only scored 94 points (waters / TJD played heavy mins)
Lakers (0-2) they just better teams all around
Heat(0-1) schroder / TJD getting slaughtered and looney DNP game
Pacers (0-2) schroder / TJD getting slaughtered in both games

Re: Explain the unexplainable
Yea we’ve gone through so many experiments through out this season trying to see what works and who can fill the 2nd option. Not having that true 2nd option really threw everyone out of whack since every one was trying to take it.

Re: Explain the unexplainable
Any one realize how much our defense changed from the beginning of the year? Where we were trapping and blitzing everything, we were playing with so much effort and energy which just wasn't sustainable for 82 games.
