This is the solution. Dry-up and stop crying about things you can't control. Shut up and play.
Yeah, nobody loves you. The media has every reason not to support you. You're in a meaningless market in a meaningless part of the country with no following to speak of as far as they're concerned. You're owned by a guy who has been a pain in the league's ass more often than not and they're probably not unhappy to see one of the weakest earning franchises in the league go home early year after year.
There's nothing you can do about any of the "unfair" crap like what went down at the end of the season. Feed on it. Come together as a team, be professionals, and make the media and the league eat their words by showing you can overcome the labels they want to put on you. Recognize that this season the team the ended your season was you and commit to not let it happen again.
