This is not how teams get better and this is clearly a team that hasn’t improved on last season despite adding better players in Stone and Hamonic.

I see it as he and Giordano are the elder statesman on a team that just went through a rebuild with an extremely young core that is learning how to win on the job.
Your rain cloud view seems fun though!
