I disagree that Tatum and Brown can’t work together. The roster needs more talent. The Bucks have Giannis, Middleton and Holiday. Who plays the “Holiday role” on our team? No one.
We’re still a hit young. Williams is getting there, Nesmith and Pritchard are probably another year away from being consistently effective.
Brad did a great job of reshaping the team this off season - especially with what he had to work with. We are bigger, tougher, meaner and stronger across the board this year. After Brookly, if we’re fully healthy, we have as good a shot as anyone to get out of the east.
Don’t forget - we did not have Horford, GWilliams, Richardson or Schroeder tonight. Horford, GWilliams, and Richardson are particularly helpful players in a playoff intensity level game - both very gritty/chippy.
Steven’s job is to now get that one additional, meaningful piece that takes the Tatum/Brown duo to the next level. It’s probably a PF (stretch four to compliment TimeLord) or a really solid Vet Point.
I like how hard Ime has these guys playing. He needs more talent as well. I like the grit he has our guys playing with. He needs to grow and likely will. He has a great X and O man in Stevens’ to lean on.
Patience -
