Season ain't over yet. Would look defeated when there is still a regular season game and a finals series to win.
We are in a situation where it seems a large proportion of fans don't *WANT* us to make the finals because we'll just get owned and embarrassed anyway, and it would distract attention from the whole-sale clearout of players (and possibly of management) that is necessary to have a non-embarrassing team next year. There appears to be a feeling that the players themselves have given up and are throwing games (Ufuk is getting the blame from some but Oli Sail seems to confirm that it's the players who are ignoring his instructions).
While this is thought-provoking, I do not see any evidence that "a large proportion" of fans think that. Strong feelings (as in "comments") are largely from those fans that are the loudest. I suspect that a large proportion of fans turn up to the games but do not comment or post here, because I am not seeing a thousand of different posters here, or in the comments in "Stuff" etc.
