They had the opportunity to put together a nice little run following the Houston game to get themselves back on track going into the playoffs and have fallen on their face.

I hate to complain too much or get too negative because it's still better than all the years of 25-57 type records but it's just beyond frustrating to watch them. Iso after iso after iso on offence and repeated defensive miscues due to a system that guys either don't understand properly or are incapable of executing physically has made for total disaster.

On the bright side, Demar has been very good since early march. Lou has been hot the last handful of game, Lowry is getting closer to returning, I hold out hope that Casey will finally give in and give up on T-Ross so James Johnson can take over his minutes. There's no denying at this point that we are a much better unit with him on the floor.

More than anything, I just want to see them healthy and able to give an honest effort in round 1. I'm tired of all the injuries and all the stupid mistakes. If they go out with a full roster and play as hard as they did last playoffs, I'm willing to let the chips fall where they may and accept whatever result that leads to. I never thought I would have been saying that in November/December. Sad.
