Disappointed in a huge way, yes. I really was hoping we'd see a better game.
Surprised, no. I know we've got some good talent, but we don't have top level talent. That is clearly evident. I hate the notion that correcting that takes time, as in 2 - 3 years.....regardless of who the coach is.
Surpised, no. I was hoping Riley could take the talent we have and make it work. The combination of lacking talent trying to learn a new system and adjusting to an entirely new coaching staff is what it is. Sadly it is way to evident.
Do I expect a championship next year? No. Do I expect much improved play? Yes, definitely.
I'll give Riley this year to implement his system. If there isn't improved play next year, or through the rest of this year, I will be questioning the hire. Even with a bit of lacking talent, there is enough to make a team perform better than this.
Mark this post, it is as negative as I'll ever get. Oh, what the heck, I'll let it all out. DADGUMMIT I'm unhappy!
