There's no consistency. We only win games if someone gets hot. I think they put in the effort "during" a game. They run, they hustle, they try, they cheer each other on. Nobody looks disengaged, even when getting killed. They just aren't a very consistent or smart team.
Confusion, lapses of focus, turnovers, defensive breakdowns, broken plays, plain stupidity, aren't for lack of hustle. I wonder how efficient the homework they do outside of game is. Some things need to be sorted out off the court. Each player needs to be personally responsible for unquestionably understanding their assignment, every time. Maybe that's where the effort is missing.
Nobody should want to pay to see us not only lose but get embarrassed either way tho.
