Arizona has a great locker room dynamic. It’s based off trusting one another no matter the situation. We’ve been there and done that. We know what to expect. Losses don’t phase us. Back in the mid-20s, every season felt the same. Start 0-2 or worse and fight our way back to a playoff spot. So despite losing early in the year, we never give up. All that matters is making the playoffs and then anything can happen. Sometimes the offense has a stinker, and the defense picks them up. Sometimes the defense forgets how to play, so the offense needs to ball out. There’s no blame game. It’s one team, one dream. As far as one leader, we don’t really have just one. We have a lot of experience users who are loyal to the cause. Willing to sacrifice stats for wins. It’s a culture that is 20 seasons in the making and it’s a culture that has lasted through 7 different GMs and co-GMs.
