I have no idea what you're talking about. The reason for the 16-18 start is that we've had by FAR the toughest schedule in the league so far. "Playing like complete trash on both ends of the floor", "Can't buy stops if they were on sale", have you not been watching the last several games? We're playing much better and the defense has been really, really good. OKC hadn't played since Wednesday and the Jazz were on the second night of a back to back and we still had a chance to tie the game and send it to overtime. I'm feeling really optimistic about what I've seen recently, especially considering how much easier the schedule is going to get.
