That's just normal, it's not like we all don't detach ourselves somewhat from our struggling teams. It's abundantly clear how the season is ending for this group despite having a significant amount of talent, so I'm not as emotionally invested myself. I do believe there are different roster iterations among this group of players that could work to contend, but I have no expectation that we'll see those at this point.

I don't think that is it. This team is preseason #1 and I planned no trips around the team like I normally do. Years before I went to Champions Classic or Florida games.
