There was hope that this squad, with its combination of youth and experience, would be an improvement over the past two years, but shockingly, the team has never looked this disorganized and hapless. Things appear to be getting worse and worse for this once-storied franchise.

But after witnessing last night’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks in person, one gets a sense that things really are as bad as they look.
