When your team loses 2/5 of the NBA champion starting line up(Kawhi the MVP and Danny) the expectation is your team will crash into the lottery like Golden State....
Then add in 150+ man games to injury to your top remaining 8 players(highest in the NBA for teams not losing a player all season) including 3/4 of your games missing 2-3 of your top 7, and a 1/4 of your games missing 4 of your top 8. Note: you have only played 49 games....
The roster doesn't contain a regular contributing player that was drafted in the top 20. Stanley Johnson, a 1st rd 8th selection, formerly of the Pistons and NO isn't good enough to crack the regular rotation....
And you've played the toughest part of your schedule through the injury bug
You're supposed to be a in the running for a top 5 lottery selection NOT 3RD BEST TEAM IN THE NBA.
That is some fine coaching. Congrats Nick and the coaching staff.
