I like Rich Levine's take at the link below. The summary: Doc's a straight shooter when it comes to the state of the team. If he's upset, you should be too. If he's looking at silver linings, maybe we should be too. If he's optimistic, well...

The Doctor likes what he sees

"I think we're getting better," he said. "I think we're very, very close to becoming a good team, but we're not yet. Our record tells us we're not. Until our record tells us we are, we're not. But we're playing better."

Is that the light at the end of the tunnel I see? I hope so. I'm just gonna let Doc drive for a bit and see where he takes us.
