Unfortunately, we have been “bad” for so long that we have to build a lot of credibility to overcome the old narratives surrounding our team. There’s going to be plenty of haters itching to say “I told you so” ( esp. to any mistakes or missteps made along the way). The media will catch up eventually and so will the casual fans. It’s going to take some time but we’re super close.
So for now let’s focus on a few of the small wins:
-
Credible basketball podcasts have talked about us this week.
-
Gaining a lot of new fans and Amway being packed with support for the guys
-
Oh and a 8 game win streak that helps propel us to the playoffs to get that air time :)
Tbh, I’m in favor of sitting Paolo (injury) and Isaac on Friday. We will need them on Saturday. Brooklyn is very physical and has experienced players. Can get hot from 3 too. Hopefully Poole doesn’t turn into Curry on Friday but I think we have the personnel to pull that one out w/o them.
