Driving back from four days of burning brush, off-grid and beyond even a W’s radio signal, I mused upon where the W’s were—going into that night’s Heat game.
15-13 (then). And if that won/loss arc were to extend, on the cusp of the playoffs.
But making the playoffs (or not), by itself, isn’t the point.
As I’ve mentioned before, my own assessment of this season works backwards from an imagined end. That is, at the end of the season, will the W’s have constructed a platform from which they feel confident they can launch much further than just making the playoffs?
