Bottom line is, when you look at the lineup, I donīt think it has ever during the last 3 (now 4) seasons performed at the level they could have. Whether they could have made to playoffs, I donīt know, but we havenīt seen a real team out there for years.

I think to an extent we're going in circles here. If the lineup lacks work ethic, then that's an issue of the lineup. So the lineup isn't good enough. You need more than offensive skill to succeed and they don't even have an exceptional amount of that.
