I've honestly been more pissed during a Cowboy preseason game than I have been over this series. Losing in the 1st or 2nd round is not really of too much consequence to me, of course I want them to win but there is a reason that our best scorer is a veteran minimum mid-season signing that was nearly out of the league.
Over the past few seasons I've gone into seasons expecting to compete for championships, so that end is really my only concern for this team, and that's why I wanted them to tank. Of course I don't think Noah's game would have blossomed the way that it has if we had tanked so I can't complain about the lack of tanking.
Nobody knows how Rose will come back, but the only way this team is winning it all is if he comes back at least 90%, so that's what the working assumption has to be. You assume Rose comes back at a certain level, you have a DPOY in Noah and a plethora of assets in terms of draft picks and young players. The organization has the raw material to turn the team into a title contender next year, and they have to do it now, whether or not they can do that is really my only concern.
