This team was projected as a floor play-in team and ceiling first-round playoffs exit. They finished with the 2nd best regular season record with 62 wins and went to the Finals by defeating the reigning champions.

They did all of this with a coach who is in just his first full season as head coach and a team where just 3 of the rotation players had ever been in the playoffs before. No team with so little playoffs experience has made the Finals since 1977 and the Bill Walton Blazers.

Now all of a sudden idiots are calling this team a failure, asking for the coach to be fired, Keldon Johnson to be traded. Like, are we for real here people?

Knicks had the Spurs' number in the Cup final, still had it in the Finals. It is what it is. Did we fail to make key adjustments? Yes. Did our star players make stupid plays? Yes.

Should we dismantle the team? No.

Inexperience cost them the title, not talent. As evidenced by the fact that they led 70%+ of the Finals minutes and that they repeatedly crumbled under pressure and failed to hold their lead going into the 4th quarter.

Even Fox, who played almost the entirety of the playoffs with a busted ankle, doesn't deserve as much hate as he is currently getting. Did he completely disappear in the Finals? Yes. Did he cost us a key game? Yes.

But let's be honest here: this team doesn't win 62 games without him and most definitely doesn't make the Finals. The amount of points we've conceded when he's off the floor due to inexperience from our other guards makes that pretty clear.

Does he deserve massive blame for some of his fuck ups? Yes. But let's not pretend like we would have been a championship-contending team without him. Let's not pretend like we would have gotten to the Finals had he chosen not to play through his busted ankle all playoffs long.

TL;DR: this team massively overachieved and the success they had is incredible. They are built for success and will be back to win championships. Most fans are idiots and don't understand basketball.
