This is a great time for us to make some noise when everyone is sleeping on us.

We FINALLY have some blue collar players that's willing to play defense, and and better efficiency that will FINALLY do what others didn't wanna do. Move the ball through AD.

I look at our team similar to Portland of last year when everyone thought they were a rebuilding squad, but their team had players that knew their role. I feel the guys we brought in will not have ego issues like Ryan Anderson and low effort issue's like Eric Gordon.

Also if Buddy Heild show anything, that will be a nightmare for players because its pick your poison with him or AD.

MVP: i wanna say russ cause hes gonna put up crazy numbers but picking him is also assuming i believe the thunder will win 50 or have a top 3 seed and both seem unrealistic to me so im gonna go with lebron even though he doesnt play for mvps anymore -- he uses the 82 games to pace and prepare but itll be some lifetime achievement shit (i think steph and kd cancel each other out)

Celtics will dissapoint this year. Unless they make another trade they won't make it out the 2nd round.

Al Horford will be a dissapointment

This seems to be the consensus, what is your reason for this tho because you're reasonable enough to react without feelings. The floor spacing and pick and pop ability horford provides will benefit us. He wasn't brought it to be a go to superstar but he'll help immensely

@BlackAX410

1. Your pg and best player is 5'9

2. Horford is not a superstar who'll put you over the hump against Cleveland. He's 31 years old and peaked 3 years ago. Not a great rebounder or shot blocker at this point in his career.

3. Avery Bradley once again will miss at least 15-20 games

4. Y'all drafted jalen brown a light version of justice winslow

I don't think anyone thinks we'll be in the finals this season but we're building year by year for people to think we'll be the 6th seed or a 1st round exit is a reach. Smart and rozier improving will change the dynamic of our team too
