Funny video. Simmons is frustrating because he's a great fan and isn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve yet his green glasses are just shameful sometimes lol.
I feel like we're gonna be one of those teams that might win games when we shoot well- which was the case with the big 3 as they started to decline.
Unfortunately we don't have that level of quality shooters anymore.
I mean we won 41 games relying on our jumpshooting and defense.
It's going to be a similar style this year except we don't have any shooters and we have a pretty terrible defense out there after Avery+Lee+ Green (until Rondo returns).
People are talking about run and gun like we're going to score in the open court so much.
You need athleticism and skilled wings who can get to the hole and finish on the break- you also need multiple 3 point shooters to pass to on the break.
So basically I think we'll have a small ball policy by nature of our roster- problem is this roster doesn't have the skillset to be a 30 win small ball team particularly now Rondo is out.
I'm excited to see Bradley develop and he's looking good. Sully looked awesome and will only improve with his conditioning. I want them to go to Olynyk regularly and the Sully/Olynyk tandem could be nice.
Brooks, Crawford, Green and Fav are going to keep me surviving, just hoping their trade values go up.
If we're lucky, somehow Brooks gets a starting gig and the minutes to become a very good 2 guard- he seems to be an often overlooked bright spot/asset that we acquired from NJ. He's not a lock but he's got some talent that needs a chance to flourish.
I didn't agree with Jalen about the Rondo trade.
I think Rondo goes if we get equal or return value. If we don't then Danny probably just yanks him for the rest of the season and we officially tank. (unofficially).
Simmons just has no idea about basketball. I mean he's hilarious but his basketball IQ is horrific. He's just a great, passionate fan.
Stevens will be a great coach and is a great coach- he's just an NCAA coach in his first year- he's gonna need a year or two lol.
We might actually look good during the preseason as we force other teams to run whilst they're still catching up with conditioning.
Without Rondo till December though I'm predicting between 20-24 wins all year.
No shooters, completely undersized and over staffed with mediocrity at every position except the PG (where our bright spot is out for 20 games at least).
No rim protection, no inside scoring other than Sully.
Still doesn't mean I don't love em though.
I'm just praying wee make the most out of the drafting/trade opportunity that awaits us. I feel like Danny tries using some picks and waste contracts to get Rondo some help. If that fails he'll either trade Rondo and get more assets or he'll try and draft us a stud at the 4-7 range. If we get really lucky and bink a top 2 pick then I can't ask for more.
I know Danny will do his best.
