Carlisle deserves A LOT of blame.This issue, in question form, was a point of emphasis in the pod. Whether the coaches are delivering the right messages (podders think they are). Whether the message is being delivered in such a way that the players get it. Whether the players receive and understand the message but are unable or unwilling to act on it.
Attention was given to Doe-Doe's post game comments that the coaches are doing all they can do, and that bringing the right attitude to the court is on the players. Podcasters think the team looks worn down, which could account for their difficulty in bringing energy to every game.
In that regard, they brought the suggestion of getting the team vaccinated, which would get them some more sleep time. They said Cuban mentioned recently that he wanted to get them all vaccinated. That seems like a simple thing to do, unless some people are reluctant to take the vaccine or something. I am not really informed about the merits of this suggestion, but if this is real, it would be another puzzling example of something falling through the cracks that seems like it should be a matter of basic management.
