We are essentially the same team as last year. Last year's team was one of the worst in the NBA. If anyone thinks Marcus Smart and Tyler Zeller are going to save the day, then they are wearing the biggest green teamer goggles ever existed.
Some food for thought.
Who's going to score for us? Our offense was putrid last season. So unless Rondo all of a sudden transforms into a scorer, we're still facing the same problem.
Interior defense and preventing opposing players constantly getting into the paint at will. Zeller is the only big man addition and he's certainly not going to wow anyone with his defense.
Pretty much, the east is wide open for Cleveland, Chicago, Indiana, Washington, Atlanta, and Toronto. Unfortunately, we're contenders for spots 10-12.
