I would agree with this assessment—execution separates these teams more than anything, and I kind of would expect that if the team is the youngest in the league, which we are. But at some point, that can’t always be the excuse. Either the team has to grow up right now, or we have to add more veteran talent somehow. After next year, we have to start making money decisions on guys like Clark, Gary, and/or Jaire, and the window will start to close. If the time isn’t now, it’s imminent, so I get the frustration.
I just think we’re really close. Agonizingly close.
