I agree.  We should hold him to a higher standard than M.L.   But, I think
you should take a few things into consideration, before you claim an absence
of progress.  And I'm not going to give you the "it's a new system" excuse.
Here are some common sense ones.

We are the youngest team in the NBA.  All the teams we have played so far
are playoff teams.  And 3 of them are considered title contenders. We suck.
It will take awhile to get better.  And by awhile I mean more than 4 games.
Jeez.  4 games and you are whining about a lack of progress.  Come on.  We
have one of the roughest opening schedules in the league.  How the hell are
we supposed to improve when we just keep getting beat down by a tougher
opponent?  The upcoming games are with teams closer to us in terms of talent
and experience.  I'd be more apt to use those as a gauge.
