Credit to the players for battling back and forcing overtimes. I'm not sure what to make of the rotations and if it's a bit of trying to turn chicken**** into chicken salad or if the tank has already begun.
They are just a bad team. The crowd was supportive. The bench was lively. Kyrie was engaged. It´s just that they are not very good without somebody putting all the pieces into their places like a head coach and a floor general.
You are also not going very far, when 14 of your 16 players shoot below 29% from three and your coach refuses to play one of the two players that actually shoots over 39%.
