A couple of necessary caveats:
- Drawing conclusions about a player’s effort or mindset on the court is rarely in good taste. Why speculate about what’s happening behind the scenes ears when there are so many X’s and O’s to analyze?
- Spencer Dinwiddie has earned a level of grace from Brooklyn Nets fans that not many other players have earned since the franchise moved across the Hudson. The 30-year-old point guard played a significant role in steering the team from one of the most miserable, directionless situations in league history to a title contender in his first five-season stint in Brooklyn.
