If the injuries in December didn't happen and our early season defense held up, and we entered the new year at .500 what do you think the current situation would be
- We aren't good enough to actually make the playoffs as our youth gets the better of us, and end up with approximately 35 wins, and then lose the pick
- We don't shut down Deng that early and maybe he plays himself into a rhythm
- We don't explore trading Lou and he ends up 6 man of the year and is still #1 on the roster
- We as fans aren't subjected to terrible ball down the stretch, but instead deal with stretches of hopelessness
In all, the fact we got exposed after the 10-10 start was the best thing to happen. The Mozgov Deng contracts locked us into non contending status until they expire (and when the Warriors/Cavs reign will finally end) and until then it's all about asset accumulation and player development rather than actual winning. |
