'Bone, I've always loved how you are positive and optimistic. I guess the team has let me down so much in the past that I'll never have positive expectations until they can prove it to me. The first game, I didn't buy at all, because so many guys averaged so many assists. I know there's this whole new offense being installed but I had no faith whatsoever that we could buy into it and execute it so quickly. But I still had no idea just how discombobulated we really are. So yeah... even when I kept my expectations deliberately low I was still disappointed.
But that's okay, my expectations this season was tangible evidence of player development to buy into the Kokoskov hype. The jury is still out, but TJ has improved one facet of his game. Hopefully JJ can have a pulse, Mikal can develop some confidence, and Booker can develop a better play making or defensive game. Also would be nice if Ayton could learn to play D.
Then we can hope that we somehow land the #1 pick overall and get RJ Barrett. Then I'm ready to watch the next great NBA dynasty.
