That perfectly illustrates why I still think this team can make a run. Obviously will take some reinforcements and improvements along the roster, but man, they haven't had a chance to gel. Sure, Kyrie was known to miss some games but how fluky was that injury? Thanks Dwight...and no Maxi all year, Luka missing games, Green not being able to get in any rhythm, if it's there or not. Then there's Lively and Exum, two newer guys who have very quickly proven their importance as they are now deemed starters missing.
Tough to build and maintain any sort of chemistry. The best part is it looks like all the guys are happy and having fun. Saw some pics from the shoot around and recent practices and it's all smiles. For now...winning more than losing will help but it will get old when the losing starts to rear its ugly head more and more and ultimate goals aren't met. But I have some faith that moves will be made. If not, can't hope for much more in the playoffs. This squad will get there, they will not compete for the championship as currently constructed.
