I read the gameday thread, and it seemed as though the game took fans thru a roller coaster of emotions. I know that the gameday posts can be filled with knee-jerk reactions and are generally filled with emotion, but some of the comments were ridiculous (as usual). Some People seem to forget that this is a VERY young team that's short on talent and are FAR from a "finished product".
While our guys do play hard...
Vasquez is not our long-term answer at PG...
Eric Gordon hasn't played a minute this season, and Rivers is still learning how to be a pro...
We have no starting-caliber SF...
AD is a rookie that's learning how to play NBA basketball...
Lopez is may/may not be a starting NBA center...
Aside from Ryan Anderson... our team is filled with back-up players and rookies... I'm not sure what expectations some of you have for this team.
Monty is doing the best he can with the talent (or lack of) that he has. People question his rotation.... WHAT ROTATION? HE HAS NONE! He's trying to figure out the best mix to make the team competitive.
This will be a painful season to watch, but its all a part of this team's growth and development. You can look at last night's game as "just another Hornets loss" but you can also look at it as a learning experience. They were down big on the road against a real good team, and had a chance to win. With a better decision here or there we win that game.
Patience folks... this team needs your patience. We have alot of money to spend in the next offseason, so lets wait to see the finished product before you dump on them (like folks did in the gameday thread).
