I don't really buy the ramp up to the playoffs as a sound strategy -- I think good teams just win, and win a lot, and keep winning over long periods of time. It would be nice to see this team stay in the elite category spanning several seasons, as I think it gives them the best chance at being a true contender. That could certainly still happen, but its kind of frustrating that even after their experiences they still seem to be in a figuring it out stage.

They have to go to every player and give whatever support, suggestion, advice and demands that they gave to Monahan.
