It feels like most of what I'm seeing on social media makes me think that our fanbase considers this season a success. I'm curious to know how this board feels about the 2018/2019 season. While this season definitely wasn't a disaster, bringing back basically the same team and only winning one game in the playoffs isn't a successful season in my mind. What do you think?
 
It was about what I expected (well, I had anticipated we’d win a few more games [we should have], had a higher seed, and got out of the first round — but basically we’re as far out of contention now as we would have been even in that scenario). We added absolutely no offense. This year was basically just a placeholder.
 
The season will evaluated by what we learned from it. If DL keeps the same team for a 3rd year in a row, then we didn't realize this team wasn't good enough. So then it would be a failure.

Yup, and a developmental year for Donovan, which was successful in that regard given his consistent improvement. This is exactly how I feel.

This is not success.

First and foremost for me, I want homecourt in the first round. The DWill/Boozer era never had it and it mattered then. This team has never had it and it matters now.

The regular season matters. We NEED homecourt in the first round.

We got a bad draw in the playoffs this year. But the alternative was Portland. That's a team I "wanted" to play in the first round, but damn, not sure that would have worked out any better.

Obviously the west is tough. Good! You don't win championships because the league lays down and gives it to you. You have to earn it.

But no, this season started slow. We struggled even though we brought back the same team. The benefit of bringing back the same team was supposed to be hitting the ground running. But we stumbled.

We got hot in Jan and had a great record the second half of the season. But NBA seasons are not 1/2 a season long, they are a whole season long. So we didn't have homecourt in the first round.

Not sure what the **** happened to Joe in the playoffs, but we didn't really have Joe in the playoffs. The big move mid-season was getting Korver and we surged after getting him, but he didn't really play in the playoffs. Welp, there goes 3-pt shooting, I'm sure we didn't want any 3-pt shooting in the playoffs.

Not happy with the season. Not doom and gloom, but not happy.

That's fair.
