Maccabi Tel Aviv is filling its book of negative records this season.
Another low point was on Sunday in the loss in Be'er Sheva, the conclusion from which - Scotty Wilbkin will have to mobilize a lot of forces by the end of the season.
If the great Maccabi Tel Aviv is unable to beat the team penultimate in the table without Wilbkin, it means what problem it has this season in the league (we will leave the many problems in the Euroleague at the moment).
Scotty has not been on Maccabi's squad this season in the league, and in the three yellow games they have lost - what a dependency.
From this we will understand that this was probably the last time that the Maccabi star gets a rest this season in the league.
The numbers in this game are on the verge of unbelievable.
Maccabi has scored only 37 points in the last two and a half quarters, which it finished 17 points behind.
Be'er Sheva took 17 rebounds on offense and defeated them with a 29:45 rebound.
Maccabi is 61:87 behind.
Ante Zizic, who is actually one of Maccabi's bright spots this season, finished the game with 2 points and a negative index (7-).
The numbers of this season in the league are also on the verge of unbelievable.
Seven league losses from 18 games.
Negative foreign balance of four wins and six losses.

Has the struggle for decline been decided already in the passing cycle?
The loss of Maccabi Rishon LeZion to Hapoel Holon and Hapoel Beer Sheva's victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv created a distance of three victories between the last Rishon LeZion and Mivtachim Beach, and it is possible that this is the end of its story.
The difference between BS and Rishon LeZion seemed to be much more than three victories.
Be'er Sheva is everything that Rishon is not.
The Oranges are suffering from frantic conduct on the verge of hysteria, and have replaced almost the entire team since the start of the season, including the coach.
The right thought is absent from the process of change and the regenerating group is also poorly constructed.
In contrast, BS is a lot of quiet and stability.
The club from the south has the weakest team it has had since being promoted to the Premier League four years ago.
Despite this, there is prudent, measured conduct, without panic and with industrial silence.
BS is one of the two units this season that did not exchange foreigners.
The change of coaches with her would not have happened if Rami Hadar had not decided to leave.
This stability brings her to be not only more connected but also more committed.
There are no dramas, no shocks and there will probably be another season in the Premier League.
Rishon made a special retirement ceremony for Nitzan Hanochi, and she seems to be missing today more than any actor like him.
Leadership, commitment, soul and also a player who is identified with the team and not a guest for a moment.
Stability have we already said?

Here are the many stories from a crazy cycle :
Apart from the loss of Maccabi Tel Aviv, the leader Hapoel Jerusalem also lost.
Hapoel Gilboa / Galil (first time this season from two victories) comes out of a lag of 20 in the last quarter to win in Eilat and comes out of the struggle for relegation.
Michael Brisker (29 points) sets a career record and a record for an Israeli player this season.
Eilat is becoming the league's loser - the champion of losing the differences - and she is still with bottom worries.
But the story seems to be James Ennis.
A big name that does not land here every day with 400 NBA games under its belt, and more in a club like Hapoel Haifa.
Four days after landing, and for the first time in European basketball, it was hard to expect much.
Indeed, over 39.5 minutes he was with one point and five turnovers.
Then came the three-pointer that decided the game against Hapoel Jerusalem.
It may have been a golden move that would be worth Haifa a place in the top house at the end of the regular league.
