To me what is important is that:
- They make the playoffs (obviously)
- That they start to progress towards playing better in time for the playoffs.
If you believe in Sutter, he will demand a level of discipline that he believes will give the group a chance to succeed in the playoffs. So you have to get to that dance, and then are you arriving with the level of buy-in and consistent execution required to go on a run.
They are fortunate that the west, at the bottom, is weak this year. It is buying them time to get their poop in a group.
