Big yikes. Any of these recent four losses in isolation, or interspersed among better stretches earlier in the season would make sense. One of Giannis or Dame—and to a lesser extent Middleton—missed, and with how much worse this team has looked all year without one of the big three, you can see why they’d lose. But stringing four of them together with a supporting cast of vets who rarely look good? And when any of them, including Giannis, look completely unmotivated? It’s bad. Real bad.
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker, we’ll tackle some of the tougher questions about this no-good, very bad, awful week as the playoffs are on the team’s doorstep.
