Random side note:
The negativity that follows this team on this board is baffling. I know we're generally hypercritical due to overexposure, but I swear it's hard to tell if this is 2013/2014 or 2018/2019. There's almost no difference in the level of negativity.
One team finished 4th worst in the entire league.
One team is poised to finish 3rd best/tops in the Western Conference.
We should do a better job of enjoying this season, because this is the best one in 30 years.

I think it has to do with expectations. Given how good the team is this year, people are looking for them to at least get to the conference finals. Anything less would be more disappointing than any of the previous playoff year disappointments.
We judge this team based on the elite standard they have set for themselves. And they are below that standard at the moment.
