We can only hope

Another Hurricane headed to Florida. I know the weather is nice and all that, but they just had a devastating one a month ago.  I don't know if I could stand either evacuating or boarding up my house every few months.

“Those kind of teams”

Meaning bad teams? As in, he’s admitting they didn’t take the game seriously enough?

Pretty much.

And that shouldn't be really shocking given how most NBA players have been pretty open about being more willing to relax the night before a bad opponent vs. a good one. 

The thing is a good coach and leader kind of irons out that kind of thinking, or at least should. The fact this team routinely fails to show up against lesser opponents falls on Kidd being unable to motivate his squad properly.

Sure some blame falls on Luka as well, but basically everyone besides Spencer didn't show up today, and that's not Luka's fault.

Would argue that it was the same under RC. On top of that there seems to be some of the usual arrogance/entitlement after a deep playoff run. They really haven´t won anything but act like it. Coasting on both ends.

I'd argue the same, and I blamed Carlisle too. The locker room tuned him out. Has that happened already with Kidd? Who knows.

Still there is a lot of blame to share. Luka has a bad habit. The rest of the team like you said has some unearned arrogance. 

Hopefully a wakeup call is on the horizon. A shake up is needed.

Yeah, there is so much subtle evidence around this team and Luka that points to them partying at times on the road before easier opponents in particular. I have said it for years, some of Luka's bad games have literally looked to me like he is hungover. I could be wrong, but that is what it looks like.

I will go to my grave believing they were all hungover the day of that Knicks game last season. That was the worst effort I've ever seen.

Is Green not invitited. Still getting the minor treatment. Or just an Aussie with a high tolerance?

Someone has to unload the bus.

Maxi instead of Dinwiddie and you’re on to something. Din needs to run the second unit and be in the closing unit.
