I know everyone wants to put this on the energy of a first game after a coach firing.
But there is so much more going on here.
I would not have effort either if none of my teammates passed the ball or helped me get my shot and kept the defense honest. Not everyone is Lebron.
Good basketball players will get drained by being forced to play stupid basketball. I think this energy isn't about a new coach per se, but about playing proper basketball. I'd be ecstatic if I were a player to actually play real basketball.
