"This is an opportunity for all of us to face our demons to get past this. This is not something that's comfortable for any one of us. And I see something amazing on the other side if we can collectively overcome this.”--"Heat" head coach Erik Spolstra post-Chicago loss Saturday.

It was the first time he used the contingent "if." He's not sure that they can. He diagnoses correctly, the team, nay the whole building is possessed as if by psychological demons. The whole org has this tremendous psychological weight bearing down on it,
down, down, down, heavier and heavier with each loss, threatening the building and the minds with implosion.

Tonight, Spoelstra said:

“You can fold the tent or you can keep on forging and forging and forging. And that’s what our group is going to do.”

You can keep forging, forging, forging. Sometimes you need a day off too.
