This is where depth is simultaneously overrated and underrated:
- having depth (and a good system) allows us to play hard almost every night, which means we will rack up a lot of wins. Especially against bad teams.
- having depth in the playoffs means a lot less when top guys are playing longer minutes and all teams are playing hard.
I have faith this will be a fun and winning regular season. I believe we could even have a top 2 seed by season end. Unfortunately, I have low confidence this team can get out of the 2nd round despite HCA
TP I agree with this. They are very similar to last years team I feel although maybe slightly better depending on Robinson. The high playoff ceiling is not there barring a pretty big leap from Hugo Walsh or Queta which I do not see coming.
I think Steven?s has rightly evaluated the modern NBA. Teams like the Pacers were in a similar situation and almost won it a few years ago.
The biggest weakness to me is the fifth starter.
