Last night the Mikal Bridges that I know showed up. That was his near All Star form that comes out.

Now, if tomorrow he scores 14 points but plays the same level of defense that we saw last night....that is to be expected.

Let's build from here. This team's ceiling is nowhere near reached yet.

There aren't enough shots in the game for everyone on the team to score 30. Each night, one or two players may score less while others score more. I call that FUN.

Sims, precious, kolek and pacome for Kessler and sexton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would take more than that from Ainge (and I would be OK to give it to him). There are reports they are definitely looking to deal by the trade deadline (while Markenen basically being the only near untouchable). If we were to go after Sexton (who I don't think we would even really need) it would mean including Mitch as that's the only way salaries work.

Kessler (2.7M)
Sexton (18.4M)

Mitch Rob (14.3), Precious (6M) , Pacome (1.8M), Kolek (2.1M) =24.2M and 2FRPs for Kessler (2.7M) , Sexton (18.4M) , Johnny Juzang (3.1M) = 24.2M

The more likely would be something like Kessler (2.7M) , Drew Ewbanks (5.0M)+ Juzang (3.1M) =10.8M for Precious (6M) , Pacome (1.8M), Kolek (2.1M) , HukPorti (1.1M) = 10.9M and 1FRP

You have at that point greatly fortified our biggest weakness: Rim protection at the 5. Utah gets the youth movement it's looking for with some interesting prospects and a FRP to boot.

You have to let the Kessler idea go, the guy is due an extension, we cannot afford him and be under the 2nd apron while resigning Mikal. Kessler is going to get paid like a starting level center would because that's what he is, and they're not trading Juzang either as he's been playing well.

Kessler is a final peice for a championship run. The question as always is would we meet Ainges price?

Poetl is the other guy but Mitch probably goes in that deal.

The highs are highs and the lows are low. Interesting.

Ainge is too difficult to deal with.

Yeah Kessler is playing too well right now and we wouldn't have enough to trade since Ainge was asking too much in the offseason when Kessler value wasn't as high.

Beef Stew would be interesting...

Exactly. Your main 2 scorers are Brunson and KAT. They will usually be 20+ most nights. The next group is OG and Bridges. They will be 15-16+ most nights. McBride and Hart 12+ most nights.

Is that for real or they have the 2nd best from a choice of one of the 6 different metrics that calculate best offense?

Rewatched late last night. Did Thibs allow Mikal to switch more? Felt like it. Also, the pelicans just suck.

he even hit that pull up 3 on the break

you know he's feeling good about the jumper when he's taking and making that shot.

Hard work and preparation, meet opportunity.

If Mikal builds from here, the starting 5's offense is going to be unstoppable

Except against switch-heavy teams which all the top contenders are... soooooo....

This. They haven't done jack against real defenses yet

Bridges with that nice +40, but that shot form is so inconsistent even in the same game. You don't know which shot he is making, but you damn sure know which one is he missing.

Basically, a 3&D guy who does not need to dribble to shoot it. Our entire starting lineup wants the ball in their hands at one point or another. You meed bench players willing to compliment the starters.

Tobias Harris, come on down!

The reason Huk ain't getting time. Sims a defensive powerhouse

Deciding?

He was receiving messages like this from Greenie. He either stepped his game up or was going to the basement.

The defense is fantastic and all, but if we are going to be a contender he needs to continue dropping 18 points per game.

Oopsy. I could’ve sworn I heard CP say 7 turnovers. My bad OG.

How do these guys drastically go from sweet to sour from one game to the next in the shooting department?

7 points, 2 turnovers, and 3 peach cobblers.

Mmmmmm ... Peach Cobbler OR Hot Apple Pie al a mode?

Zorn's has the best apple pies. As you probably already know. Just don't tell anyone else. 8-)

You were the man behind the mad man, you financed his operation. You're not about to throw Gree-uan0 into the bushes on my watch.
