If we can make it to the second round this year, that is a successful season and our fans should be happy with that. That doesn't mean 2nd round is a success forever, but right now I think it is.


This I can understand as long as the understanding is this isn’t something to “enjoy” or be happy about it. Progress is important and not just be “happy” we made it to playoffs. Goal should be contending and hopefully the organization makes improvements after this season to get there.

Agreed.

I just found this article from January talking about OKC's lack of playoff experience. https://neilpaine.substack.com/p/the-oklahoma-city-thunder-are-rolling

quote:

Since 2002-03, when the playoffs expanded to the modern format of a best-of-seven series in all rounds, the average roster member of an NBA champion had 1,699 previous minutes of postseason experience. No champ checked in with less than 715 minutes of previous postseason experience on average — a distinction that belonged to the 2003-04 Detroit Pistons. And, at the same time, no team with under 100 minutes of average playoff experience advanced so far as the conference finals; the only such team to even win a series at all was the 2004-05 Washington Wizards, with their previous average experience of 78.1 playoff minutes.


The Pels are at 446.5 which is 9th worst in the NBA.
