I just wanna see Demarcus Cousins finally experience playoff basketball brehs. Is that asking for too much? :mjcry:

i think they have a solid chance since utah won't be as good as last year. they were already a low scoring team and lost their leading scorer.

holiday has to have a great year, im talking all-star level even if he doesnt actually make the team. they desperately need a SF also. theyre looking like the clippers in cp3 era there.

Losing Bradley & Crowder will hurt, but also people have to account for the fact that Isaiah is gone. He was arguably the biggest defensive liability in the league, the Celtics defense last season literally went from being one of the worst in the league to the best when he went to the bench. So yeah losing two of your 3 best defensive players is gonna hurt, but also losing Isaiah is addition by subtraction. Kyrie isn't exactly Gary Payton but he's still miles ahead of Isaiah.

And yeah, the frontcourt depth is awful. Baynes is the only thing close to an interior presence and ideally he's not someone you want playing more than 15 MPG. Morris is a tweener, Horford is soft inside and the rest are all rooks.
Kyrie is just as bad of a defender as IT :gucci:

At least IT got the excuse of being short as fukk and carrying yal offensively - what the fukk has been Kyrie's problem the last three years?

Going from a 1/10 defender to a 4/10 defender is still an upgrade :mjpls:
