I don't think the rest of the season plays out any differently than it already has. Win some, lose some, hope to be in the mix come playoff time. They won't fall off a cliff but they won't light it up either. I don't see any indication this team will figure out the extra gear required to really be dangerous. They are just an average presence in the league. They can beat you but they won't scare you. If you want it more they'll let you have it.
