she definitely deserves the criticism, but her legacy is set in stone. She can only move up from here or down if someone replaces her in the future.

This NY and you're on the cusp of getting a ring for the city and franchise. Winning will greatly enhance her legacy. She's going to get heavily criticized for losing when she didn't play well. It'll be a blemish on her resume.
