I think people are just getting confused by how shitty we look when we play shitty. Some of that is selective memory. Good basketball teams have inexplicably shitty games every year. Some of it is we really do seem to have a bigger drop off than most teams when we play shitty. Usually that's going to be a sign of poor coaching or poor attitudes. Sometimes it's just the way a team is built and being really dependent on one thing (like making 3's) that it just derails the team when it's not working that night. I honestly don't know what this team's deal is. Last year we seemed to show up and play D almost every game. We played like shit sometimes because we just couldn't hit the broad side of a barn shooting, but seemed to still play D and work the offense even when the shooting didn't give us a real chance. Seems like this year we just lose intensity when things don't go well. Or maybe just don't have intensity so things don't go well. Just odd to have so many returning players and seem to take a step back on something that seems like a character issue. Maybe last year everybody was just excited to have good coaching and responded really well, and now are letting off some and not responding to Jans requirements' as well.
