Why would a group of championship players have a psychological letdown...unless they had lost faith with the new coaching regime and felt the team had taken a few steps backward?
Too bad Flip has never really connected with the players...he only seems to alienate them. First Ben and I think Sheed & Rip are very close behind. IMO even Chauncey now seems uninterested in playing for him. And Tay is busy taking notes from all of them.
Flip never fit with this group and never will. The 64 wins was the players playing together as they had been taught from an inspired coach. That post season was the players not having clear coaching leadership to help motivate and direct them to the goal. Ever since those 64 wins, this team has gone downhill.
Flip will never win in the NBA. The longer he's here...the worse it gets for the organization.
