I think what you are missing is that some people are defining good or bad solely on record.    Others are defining it by what they actually see happening on the floor and in the context of how what they have seen on the floor is likely to impact the team's ability to achieve at the finish line.

I guess what I'm saying is if we get to 16-4 or 17-4, but limp to the finish line again like a wounded animal...so what?     I'm less concerned about our record (aside from the necessity of have a sufficiently good record to enable us to qualify for an at large bid) and more concerned that we establish and eventually maintain an upward trajectory where we see the team improving and getting better as the season continues to progress.

At the end of the year I'd like to feel like I did following the '12 and '13 seasons - where I felt like we got better and played to our potential ...... rather than I did after the '14 season where I felt like we plateaued and then fell off of a cliff at the end of the year.
