All kidding aside, I think my concerns are valid and I'm sorry if they offend you.  Everybody knows about the rebounding issue--yes we've overcome for the most part, but by the skin of our teeth. 
 
I've said all along if Triche and Southerland knock down shots we become a championship caliber team.  They're definitely capable (along with Kjo/DW/scoop) but for the most part we've struggled shooting the ball all year.  Not something I think we can rely on going forward.  Triche especially has missed a ton of WIDE OPEN shots the last few weeks.  Can't have that going forward.
 
In regards to our half court offense--way too much dribbling on the perimeter and not enough finding the holes.  I expect to see a lot of zone defense against us the first few rounds and we're a bad shooting game away from potentially getting bounced way too early.  We don't have a guy we can throw it to on the blocks, but Joseph and Fair should be getting the ball in the middle of the zone  on every possession.  They often don't.
 
I really wouldn't be surprised if we won the whole thing or get bounced the 2nd round.  Just too inconsistent on offense to be overly confident.  At least for me.
