What happened
Two wins, four losses, and a fanbase doing math it already knew the answer to. The 1-10 loss to Detroit was the turning point, a must-win met with nothing, and the room never recovered. Texas piled on 7-1 and 6-2 before a 7-2 Sunday that arrived too late to mean anything. By then fans were asking for players to be shut down, relitigating a series lost to Sacramento, and calling this the least enjoyable season they've sat through. Still showing up tomorrow, though.
