Maybe the role player Bracken lost was undervalued by the public.  Every team needs those solid role players, and a team that was already lacking in depth and size 1 lost player can really hurt!

He most likely was the third best player on the team.

IMO, he was more than a role player.  Commodore was a huge help on the defensive side of things.  They definitely miss him.

I haven’t watched them live.  Just based on things that I’ve read!

Watch from 41:30:

If out of control, entitled daddy ball was a visual, this was it.  Even mom running down to the bench to yell at the refs.    Assistants standing and yelling, players chesting up to refs with no respect.  This was crazy.  No control.  Bracken should be embarrassed.

Agree completely on all counts.  I just watched it again (I blame you ?), and now I'm mostly fascinated by the woman in the background yelling at someone (the play by play and color analyst, maybe) just before the 47:00 mark.  I hadn't noticed her previously.  There is so much to unpack in this video, really, it is the gift that keeps on giving.

The person yelling is a parent who was upset by the things the commentators were saying.

I'm a parent, and I can certainly empathize with not wanting your kids portrayed a certain way, but I feel like that energy should be focused differently to help prevent more things like this from occurring again.

Hard to do in the heat of the moment, but agreed.
