I'm generally a very optimistic person. Probably to a fault - at least when it comes to sports.

There is no silver lining to falling out of the 4-5 seed so late in the season, falling into the play-in, limping to the 8 seed, and getting swept in a very uncompetitive series.

I guess it's nice that we made the playoffs and had a good regular season. In our history, simply making the playoffs is a rarity. Our collective goals/expectations are higher than that now though (which is a good thing).

some people here just can't wrap their head around that though.... the "just happy to make the playoffs" mentality is strong with this group, and it's that mentality that will keep this franchise stuck in neutral, right where we are, for as long as we continue to support that bullshite

that's why even getting in the playoffs, after Zion went down and it was CLEAR AS DAY that we had no chance of advancing, it would have been better to just lose the fricking 2nd play in game, end the season, preserve our draft position, and pray for changes to be made.... but no... we made sure to frick all that up... but hey, that invaluable playoff experience for Trey, Herb, and Dyson, right guys??

VOR will find the silver lining and tell us this season was a huge success, our coach is taking green leaps to becoming a top 5 coach in the league, and next season when Brandon Ingram heals up, he's going to come out motivated to get that All NBA accolade!!!

I don't even think it's that. I think it is that obvious that the fit is bad and this isn't working. It's not that fans expect to be better because that's the next step, it is that this team feels like it has left a lot of money on the table and should be better than it is. The whole is not equal to the sum of the parts, but in a bad way.
