Gotta agree with Jackie, since I've been basically saying what she is for quite a while. It's everyone in this franchise's fault for this season, but especially the extenuating circumstances that have occurred.
An off-season only half as long as normal, no Summer League, no G League team, shortened training camp, a 2 game preseason, a condensed schedule, injuries, players playing themselves back into shape after injuries, Covid, players be affected by Covid after returning, the shear number of missed player games, 34 different starting lineups, 17 different players starting, the Covid restrictions on the road, the 9:00AM mandatory Covid testing on game days that mess with sleep cycles.
That's a lot of extenuating circumstances.
Weird little quote in that interview. So, so many here have pontificated that Brad has had a ton of input into the roster construction, hence having certain types of players. Jackie says he will now have even more influence on the rosters. Does that mean Brad didn't have a lot of say on the rosters, contrary to what many thought? Or does it mean he had a lot but now will be almost taking over that end of things? My guess is the former and not the latter.
