Message: [QUOTE="my2cents, post: 4182433, member: 7898"] great reply. I have been trying to understand this mindset for years. Geno was more vocal about this a few years ago and now has simply moved on. Geno's point is that each team is different, different players, different skills etc, and each team needs to be evaluated on its own merits, not what came before. Thats why these streaks that go back years ( never losing two games in a row, etc) are nice , but don't really relate to his current team. We don't give our opponents enough credit. If we don't win by 50 points, we played bad. The other night , Coombs was making some ridiculous 3 point shoots, all you can do is tip your hat. I think the main reason that fans have these crazy expectations is that we recruit the top ranked players. These players become their rank, and thats it. Like these espn rankings are set in stone, and there is no human element regarding their personal or basketball development. [/QUOTE]
