This tells me, good for the regular season, not so good for the playoffs. That type of team is the every once in a while title winner like last year and our Mavs title team. There's not much consideration of them nationally as title contenders, but the fans know they can pull it off. We're just trying to make the playoffs right now, so that's fine, but to believe this group will, at any point, be a contender (to the national media) takes a lot more faith than I'm willing to give.
There's lots of talk about a #3, I think we need a #3 and 4 that are 15 ppg scorers with good D or have to be high end 3nD the likes of OPJ and RoCo. If only we could get both of them!
