This recent "slump" has me frustrated as much as anyone and during games I just can't fathom why they aren't playing better and winning these games that should be cakewalks.
With that said, this is no excuse for the poor play recently, but if you stop and look back at the season so far I actually think it is pretty remarkable how this team has fared so far given the almost insurmountable amount of injuries and the revolving door of starting centers. I honestly don't think many teams in this league could be as consistent as we had been up until the last month with having to play with a different rotation game in and game out.
I just wonder if it is all catching up with us a little bit because if you would have told me before the season that we would have this many injuries and this many different rotations I would have automatically pegged us for the 4th seed at best. I don't doubt one bit that this team will be ready come playoff time I just hope we can kick it into high gear these last 10-11 games and get HCA. I have to think the basketball gods will reward us with that given the amount of unfortunate little "hurdles" we have had to endure throughout the season. Here is hoping although if we don't get HCA in the East I still have faith in this team. GO CELTS!!
