I have a bad feeling about next year.
I think that injuries for other teams (Rose and Noah in particular, Horford and Smith, Bosh) has given us an exaggerated sense of how good we were this year. If Rose and Noah are healthy, we get smoked in the second round. Heck, ATL might have beaten us with a healthy Horford and Smith.
And yes, you can say that injuries were an issue for us too. But realistically, the chances of keeping KG and PP healthy for another whole season are extremely low. The odds that Ray Allen, Avery Bradley and Jeff Green could all come back after major injuries are very low.
I fear that if we bring this team back, we are in for a hugely disappointing year.
I'd much rather remember 2012 as the last stand for this team. It was a good run, all things considered.
Good points, buuuuut, remember we did take the Heat to 7 games( we shoulda ended the series in 5 or 6), a team lauded to win the East and even the title this year, so we did that on bum wheels and reserves. This team has heart, but that's not gonna be enough to push us through 82 games and a temultuos playoff run again. We MUST get younger and more athletic. And it is imperative that Doc get these guys developed!
BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! young guns like Moore and JJJ and whomever we draft MUST have a IMPACT next year. They have no choice.
