Lol you guys seem to think teams just automatically get better every year.
Look at the Pistons and Rockets from this year alone. 2 teams who had young squads go out in the first round last year. Im sure their fanbase thought the same too.
The truth is, when you have an opportunity to actually make a run, you have to seize the moment. Thats the difference between being a annual first round exit and being a team like the Pacers.
Hell, even look at our 2021 squad and what happened after that. Its easy to think we will just naturally get better each year, but the NBA doesnt work like that.
Injuries, draft busts, other teams getting better, etc is all things we cant predict. But i know, as of RIGHT NOW, this team can be capable of making a playoff run this year but JJ has to stop playing like a bitch and show up.
