MVN: Most Valuable Network

After I caused a temporary meltdown of this blog, I momentarily switched back to the old blog to do a post about a great comment that someone posted - on this blog - as "Anonymous".  I'm not sure who to credit, but the comment was dead on. Here was my reply post in relevant part:

Whoa. The commenter was eerily correct. The Bucks record two years to the date the commenter posted was 16-15, and they were on a slightly better pace. Coolstandings had them projected to win 45 games. Tip of the cap to the commenter.

Of course the bad news is the Bucks won only 10 more games the rest of the season and finished 26-56. Scary.

But, I think the factors that led to the collapse were by and large outside the realm of forecast... injuries devastated that team as I recall. And they may (knock, knock, knock) do the same to this team... who knows?

Another key difference that I think is worth noting is the 06-07 team was powered by offense, while this season's team is most certainly powered by defense. Defense is much steadier.

Nevertheless, we can thank the commenter's fine Milwaukee Bucks memory for providing a warning against early hubris.
