My worst case scenario? We do just well enough to be one of the first four out, leading to the inevitable "if only we hadn't had all those injuries, we clearly would have made it" commentary, leading to an "it really isn't fair to let Dawkins go under these circumstances, and, besides, he had a pretty good recruting class" conclusion by a demonstrably-reluctant-to-fire-him Muir, leading to...yet one more season just like this one [and the past few] with Dawkins at the helm.
I still haven't seen any real development in the team's performance to suggest the reason we've won the more recent games is due to anything beyond the fact that Randle's been finishing his drives a little more frequently and various other players have had occasional hot hands.
There have been plenty of seasons [including the past few] where I've agonized at mid-season over the various permutations and combinations necessary to get us in the Dance, even if only by a whisker. I just can't muster the enthusiasm to do that this year. Sigh... :(
