They're not near as good as a 16-game win streak entails, nor are they as bad as 2-9-1 record to start the year. Somewhere in the middle. Remove both hot and cold runs and they played at a 0.609 win % the remainder of the season. Apply that all season and they are a 99 point team. Just as likely to drop down 5 points as they are to be back at 104 points like last year.
That 16 game winning streak came after the new coach bump, iirc. That team has a history of quickly tuning out coaches and just doing their thing. It will be interesting to see if Knob was maintain any control was a new season begins.
