That extra edge that had overcome everything before just isn't there, and it has been replaced by a negative one. I don't know if they need some kind of cliché thing like a players meeting, or just need time off from allstar weekend, or what. Getting talent back on the floor is a big factor obviously, but vibes were supposedly good today with Franz coming back and we see where that has led us tonight. Coach has done an amazing job keeping things together thus far, but now it's on them to step up and get back on track. As extremely frustrating and disappointing as things are right now, I still believe in this group. Not Wendell Carter Jr, of course, because he's not an NBA level player. But aside from him, I believe in this group.
This is what can happen when you play with your hair on fire on defense from game 1 to game 82. Its just not possible to maintain that level of effort for an entire season without burnout.
