That we would have a winning record? That somehow we would be fighting for the playoffs?

This team was not going to be good. The roster is flawed, had no scoring and has now traded the one "star" it had. (I think Rondo was a shell of himself btw)

At this rate we will be better than this year. But the fact is we do not have a starter-worthy player at shooting guard, center and point guard. How many games do you think we were going to win?

I don't think people were expecting a winning record, especially once they traded Rondo.

I don't think it's too much to ask for consistent effort, rotations that don't resemble town league basketball, and some sort of improvement from certain players who were expected to be leaders on the team (Bradley, Sullinger, etc.)

Not ignorant, just unhappy with the direction the team is pointed right now.

From what I recall, the vast majority of people predicted our win total would be in the mid-twenties to low-thirties.  Not sure how that's deluded or ignorant.

Our first game without Rondo, Turner and Pressey manned the point.

And we played much better.

Smart is not a point guard.

Smart is not a point guard.

  Neither is Turner, by any stretch of the imagination.

We also played the Timberwolves...

It doesn't matter.

Nelson, Turner, and Pressey are better at handling the ball than Smart.
