What's the difference between an 0-5 start and a 6-6 start?

well 0-5 is worst but we were once 6-1, thats why it makes it so painful to see a 6-6 record

 

You are missing the bigger picture. This is a team expected to contend with the big boys. In the WC, you need to be a top 3 three team for playoff positioning if you expect to go deep. Otherwise, our first round opponent is going to be a team like Utah. People are expecting to see this team turn into a well oiled offensive juggernaut and take off. I personally do not see it happening. What I do see happening is us beating up on lower tier eastern conference teams, having a decent run in doing so, and thus management believing everything is allright. We will roll into the playoffs as a 5 or 6 seed (with the annual T-Mac stating "this is most confidence I have ever had with a team going into the playoffs), have a brutal first round match-up that goes 7 games, and come home with our tail between our legs, crying that we need to address the point guard situation in the offseason. We will then start training camp, possibly with a new coach, Rafer shines again in the preason, and the whole senario plays out again.

 

I don't think fans are upset at being 6-6...it's the way they 6-6.
It's trends...same old trends from last season when they allowed late leads to slip away..with and without T-Mac.

I think they will be fine...they just need to be poised late in games and execute. Maybe take RA out late in games also...he seems to be the catalyst for a lot of turn overs and bad decisions.
