We got so focused on the plays that juuuuust missed that we lost track of the fact that hey - 20 of 'em hit. And when they hit, that's points on the board in some fashion.
MVS collapsing has really hurt us a lot. And like you, I just don't understand it. I mean I'll accept that he didn't get any better but damn, he shouldn't have gotten worse.

The only thing people do with situations like this scream "NAGY!!!" Into the void. I don't think this is a coaching issue. Maybe MVS is going through some personal stuff? Maybe he's fighting an injury?
The guy has just lost all of his confidence man. At this point I'd try to get him some easy layup play designs to get it back up. A screen, intermediate quick passes. Anything.
This falls on the player. People thinking EB changes this by treating him like a puppy and rubbing his nose in it are dead wrong. That didn't work in 2021 and it won't work now.
The players are just not performing. It's crazy to me. It's like MVS had his talent taken by the MONSTARS or some shit.
