Though I feel like I'm repeating this for the millionth time, I'll say it again. The team's opening 9 games was a gauntlet from hell, and that part of the schedule is behind them. It gets easier from here (aside from a road trip to the SE). The team will be able to make up a lot of ground due to the hardest part of the schedule already being behind them.

Any analysis that does not take this fact into account, is incomplete and flawed imo.

You can't just look at the record right now and say hey look, the team's true colors are showing.
