Well my hopes for a continuation of a good Covid record is pretty much gone. I think we are totally underestimating the effect the Covid environment is having on our players. As a counselor I am painfully aware of how many people are hurting in ways they don't understand. The wide range of behaviors and emotions this leads to has been new to everyone.
We are seeing numerous symptoms on our favorite team. We don't know exactly what to make of so many ways we see unexpectedly bad basketball. It is totally not surprising that we are among the teams MOST effected by Covid. We have been trying to pin this down, but I believe that to be impossible. There is simply no recent precedent for any of this.
Our team is what I call disrupted. People are so, so disrupted. The wide range of symptoms all come from this. The treatment is not to address the specific symptoms. It is to try to reestablish a sense of normalcy in a world including an NBA world that is not normal. It is very hard to do.....but not impossible I am here to share.
People who successfully adjust their whole outlook to this sad situation, are being able to find a new sense of positive outlook. They are able to get back to being who they are and act accordingly. Success in this way leads to a happier outlook. On a basketball court, this would look like a return to a unified sence of purpose which can overcome most of the challenges.
Having our guys back will help us with this. Having Maxi out apparently truly sick is hurting our team in emotional ways that cannot be discounted. Hopefully we can(so to speak) all get back on the same page now. As I say to my clients, we have all of the personal wonderfulness that we need on this team. Now we need to find a way to regain our sense of positive outlook. In basketball, that does indeed look like a little rest, a few wins in a row and the joy of being on a team with a positive outlook.
