Falling ass backwards into the 7th seed (which I think is incredibly unlikely) basically solidifies Baker coming back. Now ask yourself do you want both Rhule and Baker here next year?
No bro, you are most certainly delusional
But I will play. Say we sneak into the playoffs at 8-9. Are you willing to keep rolling with Rhule and are you giving baker another contract?
The larger point is relying on other teams to be so shitty that we somehow back door our way into the playoffs at 8-9ish isnt a winning formula for building a franchise
