I feel like the team is running in place instead of showing definitive improvement. The team's play today doesn't strike me as substantially better from than earlier this season -- or even last year for that matter. They just kind of look and feel the same, and the results are similar too. I think they are lacking something that is required to kick into another gear and become a truly elite team. We can go back and forth about whether that is coaching or players, or both. I just don't think I've seen enough to believe that everything continuing to go the same way will eventually blossom into the types of results we all want -- which is cup contender. I could be wrong -- I hope I'm wrong. But I think eventually BT has to figure out a way to get the team into another gear.
