This team just isn't clutch. I can't see how they break out and suddenly get good to go even close to all the way. Even as a fan who wants the team to do well to feel that excitement in the city, there's a huge part of me who wants them to fall flat (as most of the year has been mediocre), so that managements' miscues can't be covered up to say, "hey, we made the playoffs so there's something there". This team has not lived up to expectations, and there has to be a deep examination of why. If I were to guess there's something amiss in the clubhouse, and I truly think that's because of the fingers indirectly pointed at Vlad with his buddies dealt. Completely speculation but there hasn't been that great patient approach we've seen a few years back.
