I have had that happen to me season after season after season: I'll have winning records every month all season, but then September rolls around and the team usually ends up with its only losing monthly record of the season.
Just last season it looked like I was going to finally go into the playoffs on a roll, but the final sim ended with me going 2-5 and entering the playoffs with 3 or 4 game losing streak.
After the first couple seasons of this, I thought maybe the players were tired by that point, so afterwards I started giving the regulars more rest and changed from a 4-man to a 5-man rotation (with an occasional 6th man). Nothing changed.
