Not yet. Although we're on a good run, I think were missing one key ingredient.

Whether it's coaching or player experience, we don't have that extra level to put teams away when we should.

Let's see how how they handle the pressure in a series (or two) before getting too excited.

Well, they got elite skill, young stars "who don't know any better", and they're red-hot...

...but I'm a little worried they're peaking too early.

Fans have not seen a Nucks playoff game in so long they've lost touch with reality.
