They can grow together. Much like the Hawks did.
They were young, not fully healthy, and totally melted down at the end of at least a couples, otherwise they win that series. I think they should've won that series. They came back healthier and more experienced this year and won 60 games.
Very few great teams, and very few great, players have won without taking gut punches like the Pelicans have this series. Sucks in the moment though.
Expectations can be a bitch, but mine going into next year will be as high as they've ever been. They've learned all the lessons.

Hawks
The Hawks have been building a solid team for the past few years. People think Bud came in and turned the thing around, but the Hawks have been to the playoffs seven years in a row. Horford and Teague are homegrown players who have been on all of those playoff teams. Not only are they good players, they know what it takes to play in the postseason.
They added a guy in Korver, a "complimentary" piece who just so happens to be the best 3P shooter in the league and has played in the playoffs 9 different seasons.
Paul Milsaps - unselfish, team player, perfect compliment to the nucleus of Atlanta. Been to the playoff 7 times.
Carroll is the 3 and D guy, Schroeder the young spark plug, Thabo was the defensive stopper with playoff experience. Mack, Scott, Antic etc all great bench players.
It takes time to get there. The current makeup of the Pels has not been together long and has no playoff experience, basically. If you fire Monty, do you risk pissing off your best player and blowing up what we have built? Or do you get lucky and get a coach like Bud who can make a seamless transition to a new team and take them to the next level?
