This Is OFFICIALLY A Successful Season

[green_bballers13]

Danny is a good GM, and Stevens is a good coach. They have a good team with a good PG and a good big man. They have a good chance of picking an impact young player this year and next year in the draft.

It's hard to criticize this current team and how it was built. They have a couple needs, but as of now, they're a top 4 team in the NBA.

Love that Brown was one of the first if not the first player off the bench the last two games. In a shortened rotation Brad trusted the rookie's defehse and ability to play meaningful minutes deep in the playoffs. How many top 3 picks ever get to do that their rookie year? This experience is going to propel Brown to be one of the best young players in the game in the next few years. Why? Because he can bring it when it counts most.

Thats success!!!!

If jaylen can get a few nice stops on lebron during a playoff game, that'll do wonders for his Defensive confidence going forward

Bulls fans still bitter that they would've swept us with Rondo LOL.
Wizards fans...they're just angry about Ernie Grunfeld and wanting him gone.

Agree with the OP. Anything else from here is a bonus in terms of on the court results. Wouldn't mind getting some luck in the lottery tomorrow night though.

Completely agree. During the game - I think it was after he "jumped" to get that rebound while he was seated on the court - it really hit me that win or lose, this kid is a keeper who will play a key role in Banner 18 (and hopefully 19, 20, 21, etc). Not only does he have the requisite talent and potential, but he also has the toughness and coconuts as well.

Yet agents are hesitant to have their players work out for us. 

Luckily, I don't think Fultz is one of those. From everything he's said, he WANTS to be here, especially with his relationship with IT.

Agreed. Not to mention that 3 when no one else could shoot a lick in the first half, plus numerous hustle plays on defense and rebounding. He still does the occasional rookie dumb thing like not boxing out Wall on missed free throw, but that's what rookies do. Love his game development. See his role continuing to grow in next series.

His defensive confidence is sky high after tonight, right?

Master of the understatement, green bballers.

As successful as the season was, I think we're going to have a tough time against Golden State.

We just need KO to out dirty Draymond.

the irony if KO kicks Draymond's nuts

Will the NBA allow KO to bring a magnifying glass onto the court?

Yeah, I'd LOVE to have Fultz here.

I want Fultz, Jackson or Tatum. I feel like Lonzo would be that guy who "hesitates" coming here and LaVar.... oh man...

If it wasn't already for anyone, now it BETTER be.

Bump this thread.

I am officially satisfied with the season.

Cheers! This game was like the movie "Rudy" for me. Who's laughing at us now?
