Message: [QUOTE="Magic32, post: 5180446, member: 8935"] I really like this team and will still like them even without a third straight title if we don't win. People forget how hard it is to win one and they won two in a row. Players are making improvements, just not the jumps most fans wanted/expected. They are in every game but just don't seem to be able to put it all together for 40 minutes. I still think this team has a high ceiling (championship potential), but it definitely has a lower floor than previous two. There were some dynamic players we lost last season. We miss the safety net of Clingan, the tenacity and fire of Spencer, the defense and hustle of Castle as well as the leadership and penetration of Newton. I'm okay not being the best team each and every year if it means Hurley is bringing in players he wants and being loyal to those that stay. I like seeing the progress players make. [/QUOTE]
