Yeah, the recent turn of events is depressing, no matter how you slice it. Although expectations were low across the board going in, they did manage to succeed in getting our hopes up. While it's not over yet, most signs are pointing to this going down as a cock-tease of a season.
This team actually reminds me a lot of the Bulls the last couple years: They'll go toe to toe with the best teams, yet often struggle against the shittier opponents when it should be a cakewalk, and they don't come out on top as often as they should in the more even matchups either. They have star-power and put on a show from time to time, but at the end of the day, they just aren't consistent enough, deep enough, or well-managed enough to be a a real competitor.
But as funkster so eloquently said in the game day thread: what are you gonna do...
They certainly played above expectations, and there were undoubtedly some fun stretches, no matter what happens from here. I was entertained...and it's not over yet.
