Excellent. We've got our tickets and look forward to adding to our lifetime supply of Chalupa coupons. BNM
I hope Roy does return and that he is healthy. We are in a dog fight for that last playoff spot. One very good team in the West will not make it to the post-season. So we need every win possible to make sure we are not that team. This has got to be one of the most exciting seasons in a while for us because we are finally in the hunt for the playoffs.
We were in the playoff hunt last year at this time. In fact, we had a better record, 22-13 and were leading the division.
The team had played a very easy schedule and had overperformed. Their record regressed to their true talent level over the rest of the season as the schedule got tougher. The year's team is much more talented and has compiled its record against a much tougher schedule.
I count last year's early playoff hunt as a mirage. We weren't there as a team. We were playing above our heads, our confidence was high, and we just had some hot (streaky) shooting from our guys. When we cooled down and came back to Earth, we showed that we weren't a playoff team in the second half of the season.
