Yes, there ARE instances where it just clicks, a team finally turns the corner, everything gels, they flip the switch, however you want to call it. But the vast, vast majority of the time, when a team reaches the playoffs they don’t radically reinvent the team that they were all throughout the regular season. A level higher? Perhaps, but by and large it’s the same “bones” remaining. And there are still some measurable that speak in our favor (but you could find just as many that speak against us). But when it comes to “mentality” or other intangibles…I mean, could the “vibe” really be any worse heading into the postseason? So, as much as I’d like to hope it’s not the case… more and more I get the sense that this is just one of those teams where it’s like… we knew who they were/are and just couldn’t or wouldn’t accept that. This team has had plenty of opportunities to change the narrative and it’s came up short every time, for better or worse. I’m reminded of a quote - I think it’s Maya Angelou: “When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time.”</blockquote>
