The game vs Memphis was one of four games we had to win in order to secure the 5th place. But the team looked flat, tired and unmotivated. There was absolutely 0 fight or fire to win. Sorry but motivating the team is the coach's responsibility although I don't understand why the players weren't naturally motivated by the standings... Luka was jogging up and down the court like a 50-year-old and had several just terrible and sloppy turnovers. Many players followed his example...Luka has to show more fight and play with more intensity. He has to lead by example.
However, I want to point out that I seriously question RC's ability to appropriately motivate this team first and foremost. It happens too often against bad and mediocre teams.
After some of the losses against the Kings this was another Mavs loss I am really angry about because I had the impression the players weren't interested in playing this game in the first place.
