Respect to Dam for grinding it out last game.
Agreed but no excuses. When you build top heavy teams like most of the NBA does, once you lose a player or two that's a wrap.
There isn’t a team in the NBA where if you lose your best player, much less your two best players, the season wouldn’t instantly be over.
Not one.
It’s a star driven league.
Ironically in the brawl season the Pacers lost Artest (2nd best player) for the entire season and Jermaine O'neal (best player) for half a season, and still made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs
