I don't think we can talk "pace" at this point. Our schedule so far is not a representative sampling. 7 out of those 10 games have been against teams that in all likelihood will not be in the playoffs. I do not like at all what I've seen so far against the good teams. For all the skill we have, we just might not be a good team. Maybe Vegas wasn't the only team to overachieve last year. Now, I'm not going to push That Button just yet, but I'm certainly keeping my hand close.
It's the pace we're currently on though. Maintain it, and we'll be in the playoffs. That's the purpose of this thread - track the pace: no more, no less. There are many, many other threads to "panic" in.
