Man when this team wins we start silver lining anything. When we lose it's was expected and non one cares.

This season is no different from what we've seen in the past.

don't know if you were responding to Cosmic's post or not, but you did put a lot of words into his post.

And if you don't see any difference in the way this team play's versus the way Isiah's team plays, you aren't watching closely enough.

Eh if he meant to it's no big deal I have a habit of doing that to some myself.

Anyways, I made the thread not to glorify a single win or anything, but to just illustrate our season so far breaking it down into blocks if you will. When you do that, much like a number of games we've lost this year, it's just ONE block that sticks out (much like 1 terrible quarter in an otherwise very even game).

In that, minus that 6 game skid, of which we can really attach to a fatigued team playing short handed, we're 14-16, much like we've thought for years that this team generally was, a shade under .500 ability.

I think this speaks volumes for Mike and even to a degree for the players we get on a lot.

Unfortunately to make something of this season they likely need a 6 game win streak and continued near .500 play to balance it out. Even if it's an 8-2 stretch over 10 games. It would be necessary. Unlikely to happen but we'll see what transpires with the two Wizards games.

Still, I just found it interesting, for 14-22 sounds terrible but if you break it down, it's all about one very excusable slump. Had we had a healthy Mobley I bet that slump does not happen.

As said the Wizards games will show whether or not we've truly recovered from that slump. The culprits of it, Chandler, Nate, Harrington - only Chandler has really fought his way out of it. With just 1 player fighting his way out of a slump leading back towards near .500 play....is a good sign.

No excuse for going 0-3 against the Bucks though.

Bucks are also pretty big, so its a bad size mismatch.

So we had the "skills and brains" to beat the Celtics and the Hornets but not the Bucks?

No, we don't have the skill and brains to be consistent. When a team gets in our face we don't have the ability to improvise and to change how we're playing the opponent. The Celtic and Hornets wins...those teams never got in our faces, never disrupted what we were doing, we weathered a few runs but we never changed how we were playing, the opponent simply kept running out of gas and we kept the leads playing the same way wire to wire.
