Hartenstein is a nice player to root for in spot minutes as the 'hustle guy' when you have a couple 1a stars and then really talented pieces after that filling out the main core. When guys like hartenstein are playing 20+ minutes, it's not so nice because that's a team that isn't going anywhere.
Then you have the ultimate 'try-hard' 6'2 guard who can't raise his game in the playoffs because he gives 100% effort in the regular season. Brunson would be a nice contributor as a microwave type scorer playing 20-23 minutes off the bench to come in and give second unit a spark. As the team's 'star' well......thats a team whose ceiling in the playoffs is lower than the ears of a kid with 47 chromosomes.

So one more time....this series aside(and who knows how it goes.....we sure as hell know how a potential series with boston against these try-hards would go)

But look at that hustle! Hartenstein and Hart never give up on a play!! Brunson is a fighter! All these villanova try-hards play so good together!

All that and a dollar fifty will buy a pack of bubbalicious. It sure as hell won't get an nba title though. So what is the point?

We were battling until Embiid injured the guy who can guard him on purpose.
