Not sure why people expected the team to be good this year. NBA teams just don't go from terrible to good in one season. Sonics/Thunder were horrid for 2 years with 3 top 10 picks, 2 of whom are All NBA players.

Even if Gordon were playing, it would still be an uphill climb to the playoffs. Mix his issues plus Davis's injuries and Rivers needing time to even be a solid contributor and you've got an obvious lottery team.

There are good pieces here, but they are young. They need time to play together and learn together

Said all along that I would be thrilled with anything above 35 wins for this year. Hoping the injuries go away and we can see improvement as they build for 2014 and 2015.

strong difference between expecting the team to be good and expecting the team to be competitive.

the level-headed on here, which is the vast majority, were hoping for 30-35 wins and to be competitive. the latter has not been happening the past few games.

the biggest problem is health right now. a healthy hornets squad is competitive. the product on the floor right now is not.
