I said before that I won't throw this team under the bus or put them on a pedestal until I see where they are at after 10 games, but so far, I see a team that is very much improved from the last 3 years, and losing these games early are all about living through growing pains and working their way through this process. 6 games do not make a season. If we get to 10 games and we still only have 1 regulation win, then yes, everyone will be very concerned and for good reason. Just stay sane until we get a large enough sample size that we can objectively evaluate this team. While you're at it, it's much more fun to be an optimist than a pessimist.

I think I also stand in the exact same position, in that I truly believe this team is vastly improved compared to before. They have outplayed their oponent, regardless of their losses. Even against the Avs their loss was due to a few lucky bounces. Every team goes through droughts in which they play oustanding but lose, we've seen this before. I to some degree consider us fortunate that the drought is early I can't forsee them losing at this rate if they keep up this play.
Further our two superstar scorers are having a rusty start, we saw Cammy change his game yesterday and its just a matter of time before our 2 big guns go Iggy and Cammy.
