Does having another successful regular season (this time getting a #1 seed), only to go one and done again, equate to success because there was a bye earned? IMO, that would just add to the legacy of postseason failure and does absolutely nothing to undo this team's reputation of wilting on the big stage. I have a hard time finding a silver lining in that.
At least in scenario B, we will have finally gotten a 25 year old gorilla off our backs, and will no longer own that embarrassing record.
Put me down for agreeing with this. Anything less than winning in the playoffs is just another failure for this team no matter how you spin it up.
