I appreciate optimism and lean to think the same way, but the remining 12 games in this year will tell the story.
Probably the most important stretch for playoff hopes.

Home games: Knicks, Lakers, Trail Blazers, 76ers
Away games: Jazz, Rockets, Grizzlies, Mavs, Jazz, T-wolves, T-Blazers, Grizzlies

7/12 vs direct competition for the 8th slot, (Grizzlies included due to injuries).
3/12 vs bottom feeders (Mavs, 76rs, T-wolves)
Not a single power house (Spurs, Warriors, Clips, Cavs)
Road heavy but with only 2 games on the second night of back-to-back (somehow both times it is Jazz on the road after the home game).

In short,
For home games, passing grade would be 3.5 out of 4 wins
For away games, passing grade would be a shade under 50%, 3.5 out of 8 wins.

8-4 or more - Playoff here we come
7-5 Keep fighting
6-6 We might be ok, depending whom we beat
5-7 or worse - Trouble

We need to win to give this franchise a chance. Losing gives us nothing but another 10 years of waiting.

Win and we have that chance to land a legit star and retain our own which is the easiest and most efficient way forward.

Mediocrity is the first step and youd be blind to see this as our peak. We're still very much learning. This is just the beginning

Good stats. We're in games and compete, just lose at the end. Unfortunately this may be the ideal scenario for both laying the foundation and keeping our top ten protected at the same time

I don't like win shares as a comparison between teams, but it should be ok intra-team since it neutralizes the "win" distortion. Which site generated that chart?

Someone used the win shares table off of Bball reference, and then made the pie charts in google sheets.


They did this for all teams which makes comparisons interesting.

Let's be honest. Having all the members of the team "participate" is a big step forward.

No pie for Ben! Somehow McClemore didn't make the pie chart. Is he off in negative space?

Interesting. Ben is missing but Jordan Farmar isn't.

Oddly enough his WS is 0.0 for the season.

and isn't that just a perfect summation of ben mclemore's career to this point? the occasional flash of promise, but a net nothing overall.
