I hope you don't have keys to the building.

What I'm saying is they haven't been playing as well as you think they are..which is why the standings reflect what they do. Otherwise logic would dictate they would be up there with Vegas instead of where they are.

If you think the trend of play has been so convincingly good, how long do you think it takes for it to yield high end results in the standings -- like challenging for a division, or a conference -- something that would indicate the potential for being a serious contender?
