Thank you.
Based on the play of Theis/Kanter and the play of Horford, I would think the team would be worse.

Agreed. Who knew?

How would the team have signed Kemba if they kept Al?
Oh, and had they kept Kyrie and Al, the team would have been doubly worse.

Toughest: 1. New Orleans, 2. Atlanta, 3. Sacramento
Easiest: 1. Milwaukee, 2. Toronto, 3. Memphis
Schedule strength is based on cumulative opponent record, and adjusted for home vs. away and days of rest before a game.
If you had to name 3 teams that you want to have had the easiest time of it and should regress it would be:
Milwaukee, Toronto, Memphis

The Bucks' schedule will get harder once they have to play the Bucks.

"Hello Darkness my old friend" isn't something you question about publicly Fencer - you have to know better than this moving forward.

-- Hayward will be the first starter to sit, so that he can help ball-handle for the reserves.
-- Jayson and Jaylen will get almost all their minutes together.
-- Kanter will not start.
-- Theis will.
All this is based on the theory that rotations in preseason are indicative of what the coach wants to try in the regular season ... and, hey, whatever he did in preseason seemed to work pretty well.
This is certainly how I felt after the four preseason games. With Theis, Brown, Tatum and Hayward switching and flying over the court on defense, it looked pretty formidable at times so I would like to see Theis as the starter.

I felt we've never really had legit scoring threats outside of IT, Irving, and to a smaller extent Jeff freaking Green in the Stevens era. This might be the first season where we have 3 or 4 guys who can score 25+ any given night.2018-19:Spoiler:
• Irving - 31
• Others - 14 (next highest: 5)
Three games in, we have one 25+ point game each from Kemba, Tatum, Brown, and Hayward.

I wonder if he thinks he could make an NBA player out of that teacher after 2-3 years of coaching!

I mean thank God we dodged that bullet for 4 more years.
