Two losses this week to two experienced teams. That is what it comes down to right now. Teams and systems that have been together for years and years versus a team that has played 9 games together. This will be a tough road but come January/February, when things are clicking, you watch out. Championships are not won and lost in November. This team has too much talent. Where they start in the playoffs will not matter. As long as they are holding the trophy in the end is all that matters.
Pat Riley says judge them after 20 games. We are not even half way there!
I partialy agree with you. The numbers (wins and losses) do not bring home a championship but the work and effort can pay off late in the season. The learnings from November can be applied to June.
