There's no reason to believe we'll be any worse than we were last year. We ought to be better with everyone a year improved and only losing Riechner, who wasn't that important to the team, IMHO.

But we're not playing like that now.

Plaisted has reverted. He's not playing confident.

I thought it would be easy to pick up Riechner's scoring slack, but Balderson/Cummard aren't able to right now.

Broadus is playing poorly. Ainge has done OK, but Broadus has more upside and he's not getting it done.

Basically Keena's improved but no one else is.

I don't expect us to lose many MWC home games and we'll get a few on the road, but right now this team has got to make some major improvements or they have no chance at the Big Dance.
