I didn't expect any improvement in the standings this year, so I don't find 72 point pace really disappointing. Massive roster turnover, a completely new staff behind the bench, paper thin roster, and a lot of inexperience. This is about what I expected on the points front.
I am disappointed that we continue to think the path to development runs through playing our young players with the Rinaldo's and Moss's of the world. I'm disappointed that we apparently prefer to rub our young players' noses in it, instead of deal with growing pains. I'm disappointed they still treat players as statistical compilations and not human beings (F.Hamilton, Duclair, Domi?). I'm disappointed they said all the right things in the off season (again), and then panicked when they hit an early skid (again) going full sticky. I'm disappointed in a lot of things, but not the standings or the 72 point pace.
