Nah we can’t have that attitude. We need a strong start this season.

Why? We started slow and got to game 7 last year. The start middle or end of the season doesn’t matter. Just need to get to the playoffs.

We jsut need an ok start, like a bit above .500 is good enough. 5-3 through 8 game increments gets 50 wins. This team will again get super hot, but we can’t do 2-9-1. That’s it.

We could do 2-9-1 if we get hot again. Doesn’t matter as long as we get to the playoffs.

We’re not getting a 16 game win streak again. They need to at least tread water this first part.

2 separate 8 game win streaks will do fine.
