Long answer. I don’t think just being happy to be here is good enough. I’d like to end the playoffs with everyone healthy going into the summer. That would be successful. I’d like a Calvin Booth moment if I’m honest. But, we all know there will be only one winner and everyone will get bounced eventually and there will be those among us calling for various heads no matter what round we exit.
Would I be pleased if we took Denver or LAC to a game seven and we lost a nail-biter? That’s really kind of the question, right? That fits the definition of “more”. I can hear people defending the team that we never really got to play our best lineups together for much of the year. I’m afraid I want a bit more to be satisfied. I want Calvin to hit the put back...even if we get bounced in four games in round two.
I'm going to stick my neck out and say that if we can beat our first-round opponent if it's a team other than the no-Murray Nuggets, we could possibly beat anyone, assuming Luka doesn't get too worn down and KP stays healthy.
