Amazing what difference a good result makes…we go from leaderless trash no hopers with no bench to unbeatable with huge depth

My opinion is the same as before the game result…I think we’re a solid team that is one of the favorites in the East. I, not as worried about end of bench depth as others were, because those end of bench spots are hard to fill with vets who are willing to be out of the rotation until someone gets injured or someone loses form. As always those spots become important when we lose people, but as long as we have the option to sign people then I’m ok with waiting. I do think our rotation is as good as anyone in the league, our first three off the bench could probably start for many other teams (Malcolm, Derrick, GWill). Our team leadership is good.
I think schematically Joe won’t have a problem, he has enough support around him to carry that on…the challenge will be the things thst come out of left field, e.g. an injury to one of the Jays or managing the egos when people aren’t playing well and the team goes on a losing streak and the media and fans pile on the pressure, and he has to change minutes or adjust rotations or lay the law down for a discipline breach.
I think we should be competing for a top 3 spot heading into the playoffs. The challenges will be when they hit adversity and start to doubt themselves and when the media and fans start to doubt them. It will be a fun season seeing how they respond.
Let’s see if anyone opinion changes if we lose against the Raptors in Wed…it’s a fan roller coaster after all
