I think a lot of people are struggling to grasp that a team full of youngsters are going to both be very inconsistent (look great one night and terrible the next) and aren't going to make massive strides during the season when their are massive holes in the roster. The only way this team will make a massive turnaround is if they make trades by the deadline to fill in the holes. Otherwise we will continue to see the team improve little by little and get just a little more consistent as the season progresses.
But the team is not improving little by little, and the team is every bit as inconsistent as it was at the beginning of the season.
