    Almost any NBA team any given night will outright quit at some point during the game

    Pretty sad this is the NBA these days.

    Tough to cap for this and it happens all the time now.

    Always. Can't blame them either. They can't go anywhere with all these restrictions.

    Lillard actually talked about this in a recent interview. He was saying that when teams go down 20 points, they basically pack it up. They need fans to grind out those comebacks. And they’re less likely to want to get shown up in front of fans. So a lot of blow outs this year.

    Great point. The evidence is there for certain.

    There are a couple coaches that still can get their players to always play hard. And not quit when they fall behind by 10 points. Heats Erik Spoelstra and Spurs Gregg Popovich are 2 coaches that have 100 respect from each player. Doubt you'll see either squad ever quit all year.
