Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 1970724, member: 1414"] Isn't there a middle ground. Do I accept that this hobbled team won't fulfill my preseason expectations? Of course, they dashed those hopes against Wagner, before the injuries. Do I expect a team with even this level of talent and experience to be able to make a freaking FT once in awhile? Yes. Do I expect players who previously hit some key outside shots to maybe, on occasion, make another one? Yes. Do I expect players who've shown an ability to slice through higher level competition to make layups to make them against crappy teams? Yes. Do I expect guys who are over 6'9" to not miss most of their dunk attempts? Yes. Let's not pretend that this team is playing anywhere close to even its new, diminished potential. It is falling far, far, short of that. That's what has me irritated and concerned. People keep misunderstanding it as if we think they should be the #16 or whatever preseason team. That's gone. But the eight guys they have are still better than any other eight guys on most of the teams they play, and the sure aren't playing like it. [/QUOTE]
