2:25 of the day 2 video. Brad looks so happy to see Jrue in Celtic green :)
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

That's the added advantage of having guys like Walsh, Lamar, Brissett, and Gabriel on the roster. Practices will be tougher than usual and they will push our starters to become sharper with their offensive execution. If Horford is part of the bench, even better. He can direct the defense for the bench crew during scrimmages and walk-throughs. And you know PP is gonna be hungry during his contract year and will get after it. Just don't injure any of the starters please.

Maybe we can try some reverse jinx.

Instead of saying hopefully the starters don't get injured, might as well say we all know someone is going to get hurt sooner or later.

And maybe nobody gets hurt all season long.

So excited for the upcoming season. Nice to see JT working on his post up fade aways, and mid ranges. Jrue is **** nailing it on his 3’s barely missing shots. This team is gonna be a juggernaut on offense and defense. Dame and Giannis won’t know what hit them. Connaughton, middleton would be targetted on offense, and Lopez would be unplayeable if we opted to play Porzingis at the 5. I don’t think Giannis and Dame would fit perfectly like they say. Both wants and needs the ball in their hands to be effective. Dame won’t want to be a catch and shoot guy, and Giannis is not that effective getting the ball in the post, as opposed to get the ball on top and try to charge dribble his way through the hoop.

JRue 6-5 PG
JB 6-7 SG
Tatum 6-10 SF

All excellent defenders and all amongst the biggest and strongest at those positions. They also happened to average 75 ppg last year. Probably the best trio of 2 way players I have seen since Miami Heat big 3.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

Jaylen was 26th percentile on defensive on/off last season and has had better than 48th percentile just twice in his career. He's a poor defender. I would even say a very poor defender.
He's also not particularly strong.
