Not only did they swap out half of their forwards, but they're asking kids to take on a huge role, and downgraded the depth tremendously. Nash is great, but the team is totally different from last year.

That's all true. I think they really overplayed for the star power of Nash. Aside from that, I don't think the relentless "go 110% on every shift, block every shot or die trying" system and negative/humiliating Torts "motivational" style are really sustainable forever. They were shot by the time we got done with them, and I don't think it was ever really going to be the same after that.
