You watched this series and truly believe that this team is a contender?

I keep seeing this thread after thread. We just got swept as the 8th seed. Yet people believe that a new coach vaults us to a top 2 seed (in a loaded West), and we should be in the Finals. It's delusional.

This season was over once Zion got hurt. A healthy Ingram should have won us a couple of games in the series, but he didn't get it done. It's that simple. A prime Phil Jackson wasn't carrying this team any further. People give coaches way too much credit. It's always about the players..
