Now that the season is over...
Dray and Kerr are both out here talking about how The Punch affected the team negatively. Literally affecting wins and losses.
Sometimes they're asked directly. Sometimes they bring it up themselves. The event hurt the team chemistry.
Not for a few weeks, or months. THE ENTIRE SEASON.
And it's STILL NOT RESOLVED.
Can you imagine the amount of time, energy, focus, and "vibes" spent avoiding and tiptoing around the elephant in the room for an entire season?
That time and energy that should've been used to address and adjust from the myriad of ON THE COURT problems this team had, that we've listed time and time in here.
IMO, it wasn't The Punch itself that killed team chemistry. It was the Org's handling of Dray's super light "punishment", and lack of accountability, that divided the team.
Apparently irreparably. At least for an entire season.
