This is the first time the team has played 82 games since 2019 and have had 2 shortened seasons so I can see them being mentally and physically tired. They will need to ramp it up to avoid slumping into the playoffs.
I don’t see Darryl taking his foot off the gas.

I agree that they are a bit worn out right now, but I think it plays out differently. They have enough of a lead that they can cruse the rest of the way and be rested and ready for the playoffs.
If you're going to have a down spell, you want it to be a month before the playoffs so that you have time to pull back out of it
