I think the Pack's problem is lack of intensity when it matters. They simply take to many possessions off on both ends of the court throughout the game and when it really counts
I can't count how many times this year we finally tie a game or get within a possession with a chance to take the lead and we have a terrible possession that includes a boneheaded turnover or terrible shot selection and we do it twice in a row to go down by 5. We do it all the time.
It's a lack of intensity in the moment. And it has happened all year long. Way way to often.
I think we are missing that Alpha Dog mentality... none of our guys is going to take over a game at the end or get in guys faces to snap them out of a funk. No one in the team seems to have that personality and Keats doesn't seem to have that either.
Pack seems to have to many laid back guys not guys like Rivers who will kick their teammates butts when needed.
Until that changes the Pack will be an average team because they don't have the closer mentality yet.
