This going to be a very likable team this year. The two most hate-able players are gone in Kyrie and Rozier. Who do you think this blog will have to hate on this year. I am at a loss.  :o

Jalen has a lot of detractors. So does Smart.

Tatum was gaining on them with his focus on scoring and iso play. If he goes back down that path, that will pick up steam again.

Kemba Walker will be one for me. Score first PG with lousy defense and middling passing.

Enes Kanter will be another for his lackluster defense.

Hayward will be a target for many if he doesn't regain all-star status.

Well, you've already seen some people go after Jaylen. 

Smart always seems to be a lightning rod around here. 

Hayward gets his detractors.  The salary plays a big role in that.

Could see Kanter being a bit polarizing.

One thing I've learned in my 12+ years on this blog is there's always a scapecoat or someone on the roster to hate on.  Always.

If the season somehow goes south, we'll find someone to blame.

What you say is true but a true scapegoat has yet to  reveal himself!

There’s nobody like Kyrie but I am wary of Smart and I cringed at Tatum’s averaging 20 pts comment. I worry he won’t take a backseat to Hayward which is where I think he belongs if it’s old Gordon. Also, Brad not delegating roles and a pecking order. But I may be the only person who agrees with these opinions here and it wouldn’t amounto “ hate” for me but I guess just dislike. Hoping for the best.

Grant Williams is the guy for me but not his doing just thought he wasn't the guy I felt fit or was needed or has upside to be on this team.

Tatum will be the guy for me if he continues to coast and look indifferent like he appeared  last year.

If Hayward doesn't regain some assertiveness even more people will turn on him.

If we under perform again, Brad Stevens.

I did not like watching Tatum play most of last year, including the Playoffs, and his brief international stint did not assuage my worries. We'll see, but there's something particularly disturbing about bricking mid-range pull-ups.

People will always find somebody to dislike on the team if they're so inclined.

In terms of effort and personality I think this team should be nearly unassailable.

Fingers crossed.

They'll all get their share of hate depending on their performances through the year  :angel:

It seems setup to be a feisty over achieving squad.
