text:  I view it as if Benedict Matherin takes a step forward, be it offensively, defensively, or both, it will have been successful, this run at back thought. They will be a better team. And inherently, they will have an opportunity to go to the NBA Finals next year solely based on what he does. Am I oversimplifying what is needed from them next year? Or if he takes a leap, is it really that simple?
