Your assertion is by no means unreasonable. If we lose tonight it could just add to our current slate of losses and keep us tail-spinning a couple more games. We have a game against Miami again soon I believe. Really need Smart and Thomas back ASAP if we want to make playoffs.
At the outset of the year I didn't want the team to make the playoffs. I wanted them to be in a good position for the lottery but this team sans Rondo and Green is too much fun. Still, I wouldn't be disappointed if they put all of their heart into this run and come up short. Not these players' fault since the slide started at the beginning of the year.
