This is going to be a strange year. With Tatum maybe looming in the spring and a lot of pieces that could move. I'm not sure how this team will fit as a group. Joe will need to play more guys and change it up. Maybe try and play a lot of guys and run and play crazy fast like the Pacers last year... This is the first time in a while were I didn't reasonably know what to expect, not that what I expected happened every year but I had expectations. It could be fun if Joe really throws the kitchen sink in and tries a lot of different things. This team seems like one that Brad would be a better coach for but we will see!

Anyone would be a better coach for this team than Mazzulla. Sorry guys, I am just so frustrated by what I see as a championship era being wasted on an incompetent coach.
Yes, they won a title, but it was in spite of Mazzulla. The extension he was given after those two disastrous games in Boston to start the Knick series I cannot understand.
Those two 20-point blown leads at home and the stubborn way that Mazzulla doubled down on his insane offense was incredible in the worst sort of way.
How can Brad and ownership watch that and not see a serious problem ?

The one interesting thing right now is that Brad has a great opportunity to revamp this roster for a second title window after Tatum hopefully returns for '26-'27.
We need some healthy, athletic youth and some significant help on the interior to replace Horford and health-riddled Porzingis.
Glad we got out of the salary cap restrictions we were being penalized with for building a championship team the right way.
