Had this been a young teams 1st playoff experience and that happened...maybe they come back hungrier...but it was the 5th year in a row.
That breaks a team.
Well, hopefully we can slide into the playoffs, then the question will be will a playoff game re-ignite that fire one more time, but I do think that if this team makes the playoffs after rebounding from this bad start and losing again, they may all be mentally broken for the rest of their careers. I haven't been right since the playoff loss last year honestly lol.
