When they play to their capabilities it makes it seem like some of those loses were choices.

Just stay healthy, this team proved this season that they can compete. I really think that our players are coasting right now because they are afraid of injuries

Better to get our ugly stretch of basketball out of the way now than have it happen in the playoffs.

From a macro perspective, they won a bunch of games in Dec and Jan, then guys started getting hurt, so they probably made a conscious decision to take it easy. Then they started dropping into playin territory, so now they’re ramping it back up.
Is this team a contender? I dunno man, contenders can usually sleepwalk their way through most of the regular season while still winning at a decent clip (see: dynastic Warriors). On the other hand, this is the first year these four have been playing together, so it’s easier to accidentally drop games when they’re not giving 100%. Then you got Lu using this lull to experiment with lineups because again, this is the first year together for this version of the team and you gotta give coach some room to experiment. And that includes giving PJ’s corpse playtime.

The post-ASB schedule was absolutely fucked. Even our home games were short stints sandwiched between longer road stints with quick turnaround matinee games, more than any other team which means less rest, with all the b2bs and 5 in 7s etc.

We should have gotten a true power forward that is a 3 and D guy.

We‘re starting to look better again

PG13 the best looking guy here
