I appreciate fact-based analysis and well-considered, evolving opinions about the team, pro or con, far more than most of what I read here.

I'd like to read more of the former, actually.

There's a time and place for fun and getting pumped about the team, but having that displace actual thought about actual facts is to be avoided.

I fail to see how anyone is not pleasantly surprised by this season as a whole. Parts of it are very upsetting, of course.

I will admit that I expected more back in, say, early October. Of course, I expected a healthy Gordon. I did think we'd have a better record at this point.

It's been so-so

Vasquez has been the best story, and although he didn't get as many minutes as he maybe should have, Davis hasn't disappointed, Anderson has been solid (although not too great lately) and Lopez has been better than expected.

The Gordon thing is really a black cloud over the franchise right now. I've said it before, this franchise is going to regret that signing for a long time. Should have just let him walk.

That and Rivers being as bad as he has been, and then getting hurt right as he seemed to be getting "it".

And then the worst part is Monty is really just not showing me much anymore. Bad sets, bad defense, the team as a whole just not seeming to play with as much fire.

All in all, the bad has begun to outweigh the good though, and that's very disappointing to me as a fan.
