They're 7 points out of a playoff spot, so by no means done.
But the way they're playing - the way they've played for over a quarter of a season now - provides little hope they'll manage to catch up.
The only bright spot is that they should avoid some silly contracts at season's end, ones that they might have signed had the team performed well again.
I expect we'll see at least one big trade from the back-end early in the new year. It won't save the season, but will begin a significant restructuring of the team that should continue through next summer.
Right now, I just wish the games were entertaining.
