Well I was going to look at the 10 game point as a good time for an analysis of the team, and unfortunately, I just don't see playoffs. There is a real lack of gamebreakers on the team. Without true elite talent in their prime this team won't be able to break into that top 8 and compete with the upper echelon teams of the league. We've seen some nice things so far this season but just not enough execution in the squad to be a real threat in the league.
