I think the missing killer instinct is spot on.
Makes me think once again that keeping a cup winning team almost entirely intact may be part of the problem.
When Horton and Campbell came they were hungry to get to the playoffs and it showed. Horton doesn't look hungry for anything right now.
The team had two former cup winning players and a couple of cup final losers (I know Ference said some interesting thing about what it was like to lose in the final).
Maybe a few trades for some hungry players is what the team needs.
Chia needs to take a risk or two IMO-he can't go bargain bin shopping and expect a team to go to the final. At this point, with this team as constituted I think it looks more like an early exit from the playoffs than a deep run.
