Just making the playoffs isn't much of a goal since over half the league qualifies. I guess my sights are set higher. The goal should be to contend for a title. Otherwise, what is the point?
Well, the title can only happen if we get a playoff spot... but, even though we'll make it, we aren't getting a title. We have quite a few refs... I mean, teams, to get through.

The point of MAKING the playoffs is the experience makes you better. How many teams make a deep playoff run their first time in? Even the players/organization have hinted they are a year or two away from making a run at the championship. So just get in this season, maybe we win 1 series, maybe we don't. But either way it's a taste of the post season, and next year/years to come that experience will serve them well. Miss the post season this year and they might blow the team up. Get in, even if it's 1/done they keep the team together. Adding only a couple of pieces. But why keep a fairly veteran team together that was 31-9, and fell all the way out that didn't have major injury issues? What about the coach? That is why MAKING the playoffs means so much. I hope we don't slip all the way down to 1 or 2 games from the 9th spot. The pressure on this team, after the hot start, would be suffocating.

I agree, as my OP would suggest when I said "get any playoff seed."
The coach? Well, I'm starting to venture that Stotts is starting to have the "Nate affect"... except, he actually tinkers with his line up... but, aside from the halftime adjustments he seemed to be making early in the year... they haven't happened much (save the dallas game) this year... ANd I don't know if he's all about the adjustments or can do them on the fly (ala Nate). That is definitely one of my worries.
