Just to have one for consistency sake.

And to celebrate the end to the loosing streak.

Personally I wanted the streak to continue because it would force the team to make changes but a win is a win, I guess

I understand the position.. I found myself on the fence for the first time. It's a double edged sword. On one hand I will continue to support the growth of the individuals, team unit etc., on the other hand you understand that more of losing at this rate will lead to quicker changes in management/coaching, as well as the other benefit of draft position.

I'm not going to games while I feel ambivalent about the direction. This team IMHO needs to either come together, start building a good foundation and start competing, or a bright light needs to be shown on the impotency of the FO. I'm just not feeling the notion of the team continuing to flounder, but win the intermittent game, while the current management gets away with what has happened

I will assume that we will start to come together though, after moving past being shell shocked by the changes, and we will get back to competing

Yeah sort of agree with the changes angle, I'm not watching many games lately, which is rare for me, but I've been very interested with roster changes and considering what we can do in trades.

Music for me has died this season I'm afraid, until/unless we make some changes that intrigue me.

I'm not convinced that losing is going to facilitate any changes. Perhaps if things got bad enough it would facilitate the moving of Pete, but at the same time the loosing would cause irreparable damage to the growth and league-wide perception of the team. In the cost-benefit analysis, getting rid of PDA is OK with me. But at the same time, loosing deflects free agent's from signing here and facilitates the possibility of loosing Boogie. I'm not terribly interested in starting the rebuilding process over again in another couple years. Much of PDA's work has been good, but this has been a monumental blunder. My personal hope is that he's somehow learning from this and his decisions will be of the pragmatic kind rather than number-crunching kind which puts faith into the numbers as if predicting the future by reading tea-leaves.

If we can still come out with 30+ wins, then that would meet the expectations that most of us had. In the end, Vivek will have to re-evaluate his belief that this is a playoff team, and whether he has the right people speaking into his ear and making decisions for him.
