The Miami Crisis

This is an astute observation (I think that bc I have written same) from a fanzine.

The joy is gone from this team. They look like a group of guys clocking in for a job they hate. There's an emotional fatigue weighing on them, likely stemming from the Jimmy Butler drama earlier this season. That trauma has set in, and it's unclear if they'll be able to shake it off this year.

...this team needs an emotional reset. They need to rediscover the joy of playing basketball together.

...
...they now expect to lose.
