Overall a great year in prolly the toughest western conference in a while. Never should have lost game 3, but it is what it is.
The fans were great last night giving the team a standing ovation at the end of the fourth. Id say about 70% stayed to do this, which was great imo.
While im not a fan of monty, if it keeps AD happy, then you got to hold on to him. Its just that some of his coaching decisions make me shake my head. Hopefully monty improves if we retain him.
We desperately need a athletic starting SF. If you can trade anderson for this, then do it.
Never thought id say this, but gordon been really solid lately.
Jrue has got to get healthy. We really need him, but the guy is always hurt.
I personally like tyreke, but a lot of fans hate his "hero ball", which i get, but the dude is a beast with injuries and overall effort.

There was always the OKC game winner, the GSW win, and the Spurs game to get in. That Spurs game was louder than either playoff game and truly felt special. That's what I'll hold onto and remember.

I would grade this season as a solid B. We made the playoffs and AD continued to develop and EG stayed healthy and was a solid contributor. I have really changed my mind about EG after this season. It was obvious that we need a solid 3 and a new coach. However, if ownership and management decide to give Monty another year, I can't fault them because he did make the playoffs (the rumored ultimatium) and the players love him.

The in-season acquisitions of Pondexter, Cunningham, and Cole gave me a bit more faith in the front office. If we had those guys to start the season I think we finish as the 7 seed even with all the injuries.
AD is unbelievable. I still can't fathom that he is on my favorite team. His growth this season was something to watch. To me what's even better is that despite his awesomeness he still has some flaws that can be improved upon. He's no where near his ceiling.
Still not a Monty fan but I say let him play out his contract and get Davis extended. WCF next year or let him walk.

Nice year all things considered. Impressive division record within the toughest division in nba history. A little concernd about the immediate future. Asik's hands are just too bad to do anything with, and another fear I have is that Drew may never stay healthy. Stress related injuries seems linger. I hope that's not the case. Cole and Qpond were sweet pickups and I never had as big of a problem with Gordon as most Pel fans. Nice year, I hope we can build on it

The team both exceeded expectations and disappointed simultaneously. I think the general expectation with average health was 9 seed just missing the playoffs. I don't buy the injury excuse for OKC making us lucky to get the 8 seed because I say every year before the season that key injuries and streaks will be the difference in who gets the last few playoff spots. It happens every year to a few teams and this year was OKC's year.
The disappointment comes from the both the health and the low BB IQ regularly displayed. Hopefully we'll see improvement in those areas next year.

Overall, it was a positive. Seeing the team cheered off the floor in the 4th on Saturday was really great.
It's a blast having the best player in the NBA (if not today, then soon) playing for your team.
I'm hoping that next year, we can focus on winning the gimme games, holding 4th quarter leads and staying healthy. If we could have done that this year, we'd have probably been a 5 seed. Hopefully, that's just an inexperience thing.
I hope the nucleus of this team back is next year. I think all of the players can be valuable if given the right role. I'd even take Asik back (at a reduced rate). It would have cost us $6 million to have Smith and Stiemsma in the middle this year, and I'd take Asik at $6-8mil over those two any day - even with his flaws.
