So Josh Hart after the break is out because of a Knee injury.

Being ranked roughly 19th earlier defensively isn't a trailblazing statistic. I love your optimism, but that's not how it general turns out. I know they'll get better. They're just not going to get better this season.


We ranked higher than 19th , I recall 11th or 10th at one point. All without Mitch. So I dont think its "optimism" to expect us to return to that with Mitch , OG and players having an additional 25 + games of familiarity.


Mitch factor in theory is a much bigger factor for Thibs system than many think

Essentially it’s pain that arises from poor load balance (too much or too little)

Jrue is already declining, once they lose their shooting bigs, they'll be easier to defend. The financial impact of them being together is going to make things difficult, they're a 2nd apron team right now and the longer you're in that apron the harder it is to build/keep a team together. They're going to be nearly a quarter billion in salary next season, and the luxury tax bill will take them close to half a billion for that roster, their funeral is around the corner.

Like I said though, they almost made it to the finals with Rozier who's 10x worse. You don't need elite talent around them to win. You can put average players around them and they'll figure out a way to get back to the ECF at the very least like they do every year.




They did that before the 2nd apron was a thing, Rozier was on a value/rookie deal when they did that, they won't be able to get those kinds of players now. Their reign at the top was short like Leprechuans.


Two super max deals on 1 team is what the new CBA is going after and why you've already heard reports of the Celtics potentially shopping Brown. JA Wick is being floated as a potential player on the move, Luka got moved cause the Mavs didn't want to hand out 1 of those. It's a new NBA.

Let's be real. Luka got moved cause he was being a lazy fat fk. :lol:

You're missing the point. Rozier was ass. That man was ball hogging like crazy in the playoffs and they still almost made it to the finals. They don't need elite players to get far.

You're saying a lot of what ifs right now about Boston. They've been in the ECF like every year. They not going anywhere.

Why is there always a Knick that can't play due to injury? I don't ever recall this being an issue in the 90's. I always remember those teams being at full strength most of the time with the exception of the season in which Ewing injured his wrist.

Duarte was 35 when he entered the league. He’s probably close to 50 now
