This. Is. A. Good. Thing.....
The break will do the team good, plus the ability to actually get a practice in will hopefully do wonders and help the team mesh a little.
They might come out a bit rusty in their first game after the long break, but the potential long-term benefits far outweigh the short-term.
I said exact same thing in a thread made for predicting what our second half schedule would bring as far as wins and losses.
I said the practice thing would be good for them to mesh. But the long layoff would create a lot of rust. We can't afford any 4-5 game losing streaks to lose all the games we already made up in standings. Not enough time to regroup again. We now really need to be jockying to get to the 4th or 5th seed so we have a chance to win a playoff serious to give us some confidence
They need the rest and practice more than anything else...this break probably couldn't have come at a better time. I'm not worrying about the rust...I'm more concern with how they will be playing as a team when this break is over.
