I think once Smart is healthy and integrated back in, whether Danny makes any additions or not at the trade deadline, this team is going to be a hard out. Teams above them will be looking to avoid them.
Healthy and tuned in defensively come the playoffs, as KG said, anything is possible!
We've also quietly moved up to 4th in the East. A bench addition, whether through young development (Langford or Grant) or the acquisition of a veteran and I think we'd be really tough to beat. Especially with TimeLord
During the "Dark" period, I kept saying that it felt to me that we were close. None of Kemba, Tatum, or Brown have been 100%. We will get Smart back and even Langford. Plus likely something from a trade or signing of someone released. I don't see us winning a title this year but ECF is a reasonable stretch goal.
Given how easily we make the ECF I can't disagree with that
I also really like how we match up with Brooklyn when healthy. Philly would be interesting given we own them but they're better under Doc. The Bucks are a tricky one, they've got a nasty big 3 but no depth.
Will be very interesting. Just need to get some continuity at the pointy end of the season
