There are always one or two who wind up hitting the haymakers and while you never know who those guys are going to be in a given night this team can throw an awful lot of jabs from all direction.

Peoople citing the quality of competition are missing the point because those lower tier teams ARE our competition. If we wind up better than that bottom third of the league in the end we're at least a full season ahead of schedule.

And that's just it: nobody is talking about hoisting a divisional banner this season but we already show signs that we could threaten that 8 seed. We already look better than that bottom third and anyone who actually watches these games will know why many of us aren't ready to label this a fluke even if we're not ready to go all in.

I'll vwait until January for a rock solidn projection but right today we look like an 8 seed is at least possible.
