I feel people are mostly dissapointed about how we didn't transform into a completely different team like Golden State did in one off season.
A lot can happen over the course over a season and we are ranked #3 in the West which isn't that bad considering how bad the start of the season has felt.
I'm actually disappointed that we did transform into an entirely different team, one that doesn't look like they have any common sense, desire, or direction.
It's not like we have to be a completely different team. We've been clear contenders ever since...I'd even say 2011 (if Dirk doesn't go into GOAT mode we certainly advance to the finals). We don't need all that much to be the best team in the league. Here's a list of things that need to be adressed in my opinion:
-Improve defensively. We're in top 10 right now, but I'm not sold by a long shot. We have to get a lot better, or else we don't eve have to talk about advancing to the WCF.
-Play smarter. We still make so many stupid plays. For certain stretches we still look like a rookie team and not like a team with multiple years of contending under its belt.
-We have to become more flexible. It can't just be "Your turn, my turn".
-Billy has to recognize that certain things work and certain other things don't.
While we still have time, I have serious doubts we can still put it together. I think it more plausible that Presti trades for yet another bust that show be better. I hear MCW isn't doing so well for Kidd.
