Does anyone *really* enjoy/like this team more than last year's team?
While not as offensively talented, they were a much more likable and formidable team, and they were almost always engaged and played hard. And their defense was super reliable and kept them in each game, where if we don't shoot a high clip this year we can't win.
We can't even string four good effort games together at this point in the season.
There's nothing to enjoy/like this team this year. Last year's team was better because there was more effort. Last year was more intense. Our struggles were in the beginning of the season and they flipped the switch after the JB "the energy is about to shift" tweet. Swept the KD Nets. Down 3-2 against the Giannis Bucks and comeback to win in 7 games. Traded wins with Miami and took them out in Game 7 in Miami. Yeah, we lost to the Warriors but that run was fun.
This year? It's like you know this team is about to get clapped by lesser teams because they just don't show up or they're lost or there's no control whatsoever. Definitely the changing of the coach and giving that title to the coach is a problem first and foremost.
