When you let your best two homebrew defensive players (Sholo and Butler) fall through the cracks it's obvious a repeat is not in the plan.
Not Impressed
When you already have the season written off in Feb. without knowing what the team is up to, switch sports then. Go cheer on the local dart team.
Equally not impressed with not impressed.
