We need to see the mettle of this team at some point. For a while they were riding high, and floating through the schedule, destroying everyone. Now they look like they are lottery-bound and cannot string together 3 solid good minutes without choking and giving up the ball or getting lost on D or whatever. What is this team made of? Do they have the mental fortitude to get past this slump and get the train rolling again? Looks like the hydra is losing its heads and not growing any back. We are playing scared recently, like we have no confidence. Not sure what happened or if it is a cumulative thing with all the disrespect beating them down, but good hell they need to get back up and keep punching. I am still convinced this is the best squad we have had since the Stockton/Malone days and maybe our best chance ever at a title, with no clear "Michael Jordan" out there to take it away no matter who gets through. But if they don't put on their big boy panties and come to play and get that fire, that hunger, that killer instinct back, well they may as well lie down and plan their summer vacations now.
