    losing the next two and being swept in the playoffs would be a failure.

    this team is way too good for that.

    ABM you should make polls public.

    I voted "yes". The team has won more games than I'd expected in spite of Martell's season-long injury. They made the playoffs and didn't just sneak in.

    I wouldn't let the sting of six straight losses detract from the overall success of the season.

    I think this season was an outstanding season. Our guys really grew together and built chemistry. I could really see their confidence growing as the season wore on. Before the season started, I hoped they would be in this position, but there were so many question marks. I think the guys have shown the league that they aren't just a bunch of young upstarts, but in fact a real playoff contender.

    so losing the 4 most important games of the season wouldn't detract from the overall success of the season? i find that hard to believe.

    I said No. But only because being swept with HCA is a complete failure. If we lost 4-2, even 4-1, I'd probably change my answer.

    50+ wins and making the playoffs (gettin' some xp) is a success in my mind even if we go 0-6 from here on out... it would still be better than I had hoped for, tbh.

    To be fair, in this scenerio we would be the 5 seed playing the 4 seed (probably Houston?) with the 4 seed having HCA over us.

    Joel has also. And technically Raef, not that it really matters though in his case.

    Of course it matters. It's another reason KP did not trade him! :drumroll:
