"Now there is the reality of having fallen and not necessarily with the ability to get back up."--Ira Winderman

“That’s the thing [the 2H El Foldos] that we’ve been racking our time, our brains, everything, trying to find solutions for that,” Spoelstra said of the failure to sustain, maintain, retain. “We have not come up with solutions and we’ve pretty much tried everything.

“This has been one of the biggest challenges of a regular season that I’ve been a part of. And we just have to stay the course.”

Ira Winderman quickly counters.

Actually what is needed is a change of course. 

I agree ENTIRELY with Ira. When you have "pretty much tried everything" and you refuse to change course, that is? What is that? That's what normal folks commonly say is the definition of insanity. Ira doesn't propose the change that is needed. I proposed just giving the guys a day off from practice or going en masse to the islands for a weekend, just to get out of the rut. I admit it sounds silly. My thought was that the players don't need, in fact are probably getting innured to, drill, drill, drill. Their problem is not between the lines, it's between the ears.

I didn't know the below.

Monday night’s indignity included a national audience on ESPN. The network next will be at Kaseya Center on Wednesday night to continue to chronicle this fall of a franchise that just two years ago was in the NBA Finals.
