None of these teams made major changes. Keep the core add some bench help we only roughly have 8 mil in cap. And (gulp) keep the coach (nooooo lol)


The Celtics made major changes for the 2023-2024 season: Kristaps and Jrue Holiday

Yeah I noticed after I posted but was getting rdy for work so I didn't change it. But they did keep most of their core

But those changes where key. Ok , KP didn't play that big a role in the playoffs. But it was appreciable. And jrue certainly did.

One of the Celtics difficulties this year against the Knicks was that Jrue fell off a lot and KP was essentially unavailable again.

True, they fixed a weakness. That's what we can do. A PF that can defend and shoot 3s so hart can go to the bench. Mikal sg Og sf

I'm still hearing people say that the better team won, but I'm not buying. We're better than Indi; we didn't execute, particularly in game 1.

pacers are the better "team" in the sense of the word the sum of the parts is greater than the individuals. but that certainly can be put on coaching.

Boston were the better team. But the Knicks won. That was coaching too.

I can't stand the Pacers but part of me wants to see SGA locked up by Nesmith & how OKC handles it. Honestly if OKC is not the unstoppable force they appear to be that's good for us...

As much as I want to see that, I want Haliburton to go home without the ultimate hardware.
