Some positive stats
1. We have the 7th most difficult schedule in the league. We play in potentially the worst division in basketball so by the end of the season we will be closer to the easiest schedule than the most difficult. I'm not willing to kick dirt on our season until we see how we do against the Eastern conference teams.
2. Basketball Reference has a rating that uses point differential and strength of schedule to determine how good a team is. Take this for what it's worth but in that we are the 15th best team in the league.

Yes the season hasn't been great to start, but we have about as difficult a schedule as you can have out of the gate.

Where do you see that we have played the 7th most difficult schedule?  I see #11 on Sagarin.
