I agree that getting out of the first round and being competitive in the second would be a realistic goal for the team to aim for.
Also agree that we have some interesting tools in the box, as you describe. They could make it, with some luck, although I don't have a level of confidence about it yet. To get to the second round, they would have to be one of the last four WC teams standing, and I don't necessarily foresee that they are going to end the season being clearly better than twelve of the other teams. But it's a long season, and you never know. In any event, as you point out, it's within the realm of realism.

I'm still giving him some more time to implement his system (if he has one) , get everything running smoothly, and of course getting Dwight out of the stating lineup.Since you also bring up getting Dwight Powell out of the starting lineup, but still using him in limited minutes, I want to ask you something. As it is, he does not play starter minutes, and is often not on the floor at the end of the game. So the question is, if he plays limited minutes, and doesn't close, why does it matter whether he starts or not? Is it because you think the starting unit should set a tone, and with Dwight on the floor, that's not possible? Or you think they should start with only one big, as their best offensive lineup? Or something else?
