The season is almost two-thirds of the way finished and Indiana is still doing the same stuff they were doing at the beginning of the season.  The quick starts and dismal finishes are more common than a Quinn Buckner mispronounciation.  Danny Granger is still playing All-Star caliber basketball, but the team just isn't coming together for some reason.  Are they still trying to figure out how to play with Dunleavy in the lineup?  I don't know and it is VERY frustrating.

Currently sitting at 20-32 on the season and four games out of the final spot in the playoff race, I have to start being a little more realistic.  The fan in me wants to see this team succeed in the worst way, but the realist in me knows that this team just isn't ready for playoff basketball.
