18-19: 33-49 Out of the playoffs. (Traded for WCS, KP, THJ, Lee, and Burke halfway through)
19-20: 43-32 7th in the West (added Curry, Wright, Boban)
20-21: [48-34 equivalent over an 82-game schedule] 42-30 5th in the West. (Lost Curry, Wright, Jackson Added Jrich)
Good point.
33 wins, lottery
43 wins, 7th seed
48 wins, 5th seed -- and it can be argued this team's record would have been even better, but for the extreme covid hit they took during the early season.
That's an incredibly quick climb up the very steep Western Conf ladder, with significant improvement every year. How many teams take one step forward one year, then one step back the next? Those who claim this team isn't getting any better the last couple of years need to look again.
