I just find it so amusing the number of people that still don’t understand that a complete rebuild with a bunch of new players, some new to the NBA, most new to each other, most with less than three years’ experience, a coaching staff that has been in place less than two years and had to completely revamp their year one strategy (from win now to rebuild), followed by an almost complete reboot of the roster beginning with year two of the coaching staff, will produce a lot of ugly games. There’s going to be a lot more. Why would you expect anything else?
Honestly, the results I am seeing at not quite the halfway point of this season (year one of the rebuild) are pretty much what I expected. Lot of bad games with the occasional nicely played game that shows their potential. Some nice individual performances. Inconsistency is to be expected. They have a lot to learn. The ability to consistently be properly prepared and maintain motivation being two key items that always seem to take longer to develop. Seems like so many people expect instant gratification, it’s not going to happen.
So, I am going to enjoy the occasional win and not get too down over the losses. I don’t really understand why the “lin” people get so upset when they pull out a win, there are going to be a lot of losses. I am going to look for some positives, such as growth, development, and improvement of individual players, Willie, Bogs, and Buddy have shown some nice improvement as the season has progressed. I would have included Mason with those three, but he has regressed a little bit, but I think he will make the proper adjustments and step up his game, too. I hope to see some more of the young guys start to step up their game a little bit, if not by the end of this year then the start of next year. I hope by the end of year two (next year) of the rebuild to start seeing a lot more consistent play resulting in more good games and wins. I hope to see a play-off contender in year three of the rebuild.
The above statements are the opinion of the poster, no guarantees of results are implied. If you want to criticize my opinions, fine, but if you cross the line to obnoxious, or accuse me of fabricating facts (lying) I have an ignore button and know how to use it
. You can call me a sunshine and rainbows kind of guy, that’s not so bad.
