I think a 500-season is possible. You all saw TJ. A DOG. Deep team. Everyone on way up except Siakam who is still sideways in his prime. Great top-5 coach. Great fans.
TLDR: Indiana people are on board, nice gap year full of hustle and good chance at playoffs. Hali is fine. No issues.
Absolutely agree. This is going to be a year where guys can grow a ton. Drew, Math, Jackson, Walker, Furphy...all those guys should get a ton better after this year. Its a shame how it came about but I'm looking forward to it. I'm expecting big jumps out of all those guys. There is going to be so much opportunity opened up that it's only reasonable to expect those jumps. This is a team that should be scary for the 26-27 season...we'll have the engineer back and even though it will probably take him a bit to get back to himself, we'll have the roster to hold the fort down and get into the playoffs when things should really be clicking.
