Yeah, it does feel a bit like last year inasmuch as the team has me in this cycle of looking at the schedule, anticipating the game, then dreading to look at the score, then feeling bummed about the score, then feeling disappointed that the game won't be worth watching later.
But like Roy says, the way the players are behaving is much different.
I will continue to say that this is just a mid-season slump and that the players just need a bit of a break and to get back into groove ... until it's clear that it's not just that.
If this slump bleeds into the second half of the season and it seems like maybe the team was never quite as good as they looked in the first half, that will be a bummer.
Even if that's the case, though, and this culminates in a disappointing finish to the season, I am going to keep telling myself:
We've got Tatum, we've got Brown, we've got Kemba, we've got Brad.
Things are gonna be OK.
