Call me delusional if you want but i still have hope for this season. There are still 71 games left and I feel there has been a bit of an overreaction.
I feel like some people saw the first 3 games and thought we were gonna be a play-in/low seed guaranteed and that is just not the case. I was expecting this to be a losing season no matter what but was hoping for at least 35 wins. maybe at this point I’ll pull back to 30 but I think this is still within reach.
We have a lot of injuries and multiple key players have been out because of this. We have Cade who is still only 22 and even though in his 3rd season it’s moreso his 2nd. Also, we’ve been dealing with our front loaded schedule with top teams and back to backs. The stones have been having a rough start and that’s what I expected. Though I will admit the ugliness of the Bulls game last night.
Despite all of this I am still cautiously optimistic, I am happy we didn’t make the free agent plunge like Houston. Sure they’re seeing immediate results but will it turn into any success for the long term and be more than just pointless numbers, i don’t know, but i feel like we’re doing it the right way. The Suns didn’t have a winning record until Books 6th season. It takes players years to get into the groove of the NBA. Rome wasn’t built in a day and I’m hopping these fellas are laying down some good foundational bricks.
Anyone figure out what dirt Killian has on Tom Gores yet?
