They're an imperfect team skills wise, but there's nothing wrong with their drive to compete. There's really only been a handful of games where they have shown up disinterested (vs 113-105 the Nets) or been non-competitive (vs the Magic 123-110). For the most part Joe has kept them focused and competitive.
So they will lose their share of games just due to talent disparity, but they're a fun watch because the expectations are low (most fans considered them to be Z-raters, hopeless, useless, etc) before the season and it's always fun to realize a Z-rated team is better than you thought, and their competitiveness makes them enjoyable to watch even though they may not always win.
Of course for championship-or-bust fans they will still be unwatchable, every mistake is unforgivable but I've been having a fun time watching them so far.
