Took some super human performances from Luka to beat tanking teams and in the few games against good opponents they never stood a chance. Not to mention that the "healthy" (as far as we know) start of the season was just as bad or even worse than a year ago.
Delaying the inevitable won´t help. Didn´t help with KP's trade value. Didn´t help with Brunson's contract.
Well, I don’t think the win streak was nothing, but I agree to an extent. That’s not the stretch I was at referring to, actually. I was more thinking of the stretch after Hardaway was put in the lineup but before Kleber and Finney-Smith got hurt. They didn’t win a bunch of games in a row, but the ball was starting to move, corner threes were starting to drop and they were starting to put some better defensive efforts together.
I just don’t buy this notion that the roster is trash and there’s no hope. I think Jalen Brunson and a better coach would make a load of a difference.
