It's midnight, your out with your friends and you know you got to be up the next day at 6:00am. Someone buys a round of shots or a line for everyone, it's a special occasion and you take it knowing you're going to be hurting the next morning. And that is where we are at right now, the hangover after the party. Barring a massive stroke of good luck, we got at least three more years paying the price.
Not every GM out there has the balls to risk it all like Marks did. And yes it was a spectacular failure, we can't deny that. But, I would rather try and fail, then play it safe and be a treadmill team any day.
Well put and I agree. We just have to stay the course now. We was fighting at the beginning of this season which is all I can ask for, hopefully we just get out of this slump and go back to that BK grit we had a month ago and before. I just don't want to hand over good picks to Rockets at this point. We have a swap next year so hope the Rockets don't get too good just yet
