Yes, actually I do.
PSP, while I dont share your (overly? Thats debatable) optimistic view of our team, You clearly give a lot of thought to your posts, they're well stated, concise enough, and you arent a douche. You deserve at least to be met with a similar type response, not some picture saying your argument is invalid. Rbochan is funny, but...apparently doesnt feel like putting in any work in this thread.
You said "you all seem to think we've hit our ceiling"...which I think was very VERY apt, and pretty much summarizes how I feel at the moment. It does seem valid to say that we've hit our ceiling, our grinders are over-performing (at least relative to what we've seen in the last couple years) and our stars are underperforming, with the current status quo, we are at our ceiling of possibility. this team cannot be competitive in the playoffs if our "scorers" cant score. We dont seem to have any room for upward growth (as in, the team winning more games more decisively) without our top six acting like...top six.
I'll admit it is hard to naysay a team in third place in the conference, but can you honestly tell me the team we have right now can survive in the playoffs without our top six actually starting to reach towards their potential? And if our season truly is dependant upon our top six shaping up, do you really believe that come playoff time some magical switch will be flipped and these guys will be totally different players?
