This team is embarrassing. Doc may not be to blame as much as some think though. I am not so sure they are just ignoring him, playing like a bunch of punks.
I would love to see Doc 0 - a guy I genuinely like - resign after this game, admitting the team is completely out of control. He will get another job, he has enough creds on his resume to earn it.
Tonight was nothing short of disgusting.
I'd rather see fans admit that the big three, paul included, simply aren't good enough health or athleticism wise two years removed from the championship season to play with teams that have younger, talented players.
I think you could but Jerry sloan in charge of this team, and athletic teams that hustle their tails off would still have a pretty good chance of beating us.
I mean, our main problems are clear:
Consistently out rebounded - age and athleticism is a factor.
Lose focus in the 3rd and fourth - Out of gas, age and athleticism is a factor
Settle for jump shots- Easier and less taxing than driving all night, age is a factor.
I feel like the vets know they don't have much at all left in the tank, so they are telling themselves once they get to the playoffs, they will be able to turn it on for two quick months.
Sadley for them and us, i doubt that's the case.
