I think fans need to step away from the ledge and look at this season as one of growth. I think the best way to evaluate this season will be in 20 game segments: did they keep improving? And not just in points, but in style of play.
It's a very young team and the best players are the youngest. They need time to continue to develop.
It's a new coach and a new system. It needs time for them to gain comfort and experience with it.
Let's let things unfold. Show some patience. Continued improvement is the key.
And this wasn't going to be our year anyway - next year is when this team really takes off IMO.

Agreed. Hopefully Gulutzan and his systems are good enough to win in this league. If they are this should be a solid growth year where the team gradually improves and pushes for a playoff spot.
Then next year when most of the dead weight is off the roster (and payroll) and they aren't starting fresh with a new coach and systems, plus the young core is a year older and all the forward "pairings" are still in place...that's this teams year to start really becoming a legit contender.
