Bottom line is the team is still trending upwards.
History of the current rebuild
1st year 25 wins
2nd year 40 wins lost 4-0 in playoffs
3rd year 48 wins lost 4-2 in playoffs
This season saw IT named an all star, AB get recognized as an elite defender, Crowder proved to be one of the better 2 way SFs and Smart though not linear across the board (shooting) showed progress and development. With what will be a very exciting offseason the fans and the rest of the league (FA?) have to be excited with where the Cs are headed.
