To anyone who was hoping to get 50 wins this season and show a level of excellence over the course of 82 games, don’t hold your breath for it. This combination of talent under this coach wasn’t getting more than mid-forties in wins with the Harden trade or without it. If Ty could push the right buttons in terms of the starting lineup, rotations, the whole process (like Nick Nurse is doing right now), I would have more belief in the team. But he’s shown me nothing over the past 12 months to trust him to do that. Believe it when I see it with this coach and these players.
If you finish 45-37, you’re 8 games above .500. And that’s a pretty mediocre record. Denver is 8-1 right now, so they’ve experienced something we haven’t in years. So yes, it’s very common
