Just not a very good team. Yeah Ward screwed up tonight but overall this team always had too many holes everywhere, including a core that really can't take their game to another level when it matters most.
Part of the problem is that this team is always average, so no top 3 picks to really land franchise players to build around. So you have some good/decent players who can't compete with elite teams, good enough in the regular season to make the playoffs but light years away from contending or being close to a contender.
Need to make some massive moves because clearly this ain't working. Not going to list all the holes or problems because there are too many. Lots of work to be done, probably by a new GM with a new coach. And that might just be the start of it.
