As nice as it is to be competitive, I don't see how you get this franchise to the next level.
The only ones that are disappointed so far are the ones that had unrealistic expectations. Especially with a tough East. We have a good team. We have capable vets that have yet to play their best. We have a good second unit and some good young pieces. We are in seventh with just 3 games in the loss column behind first. We just have to give this team to gel and I think we will surprise the naysayers. The thing I like is that, unlike past years, where we had overachievers or fan hopefuls with no history of performing at high levels, we now have guys that are solid NBA players with a proven history. We just need some patience. Would like to know which games, besides the Orlando games, did fans think we had locked up?
