Not to sound overly optimistic but I highly doubt this season will be a failure. Last season was an oddity of sorts. Brown tried to break the team down, military style, to get what he wanted. The problem for him is he never got to really build them back up. Under Zeke, I think we have a few things working in our favor. Zeke brought these players over and they seem to want to play for him. Heck, the rookies (5) were all drafted by him. I'm sure, from top to bottom, this team wants to succeed for more than just winning. Zeke's name/reputation is on the line (one last final time) and the players as well. I feel strongly that we win at least 40 games (with our eyes closed). The style we will play carries over to regular season wins nicely, and if the defense builds well and catches on, then the playoffs are not that far out of reach. Brown is the scapegoat clearly. You have a team, in essence, "testifying" against him, saying he is the reason for the bad season. Not to make excuses, but it seems after following last season, he was the main reason... he made basketball not fun anymore for most of the players. Earhmansurfer
