There's nothing wrong with having a sense of urgency, but that applies more to the team than the fans.

…and urgency is overrated. Urgency is what leads to pressing, and panic. It’s created more bad basketball decisions (on court and off). Patience on the other hand gives you a chance to assess what is there, and what needs to be done. And finally, I think this team and franchise have earned some patience from us fans, based on how well and above expectations they have constantly performed!
