I tend to be super pessimistic about my teams but man does this feel like a letdown year for the Celtics
0-82 here we come.

I’m a general optimist.
Brogdon looks terrific. If he stays healthy (big if, sure!), then he is the best addition any of the top 8 teams from last year made. This is Tatum’s age 24 year, he should improve. I think Brown will improve a little. Derrick White’s shot looks better - he was a career 35% 3p shooter before last year.
I do worry about counting on the health of Brogdon, 36 year old Horford, and Robert Williams. But you can say the same sort of thing for Philly, Milwaukee, Brooklyn. I whined about their lack of size in free agency, and then Gallo got hurt, and Time Lord had a cleanup procedure. Hopefully they can make it work.
Of course I was also optimistic on opening night 5 years ago, and Gordon Hayward snapped his leg 5 minutes into his Boston career. And they still took Lebron to 7 in the ECF.
I appreciate the Philly love and I think the arguments that they’ll make the finals are strong. But I think folks are a little too high on PJ Tucker.
A good chunk of his value to Miami actually came on the offensive side of the ball - he had his best shooting season ever - by a considerable margin. Maybe he figured it out at age 36, but seems more likely he’ll take a good step back this year (he typed, before Tucker went 4-6 from 3s that night)
I know it’s not serious but uh…
Seems like he’s fine, they didn’t include him or Smart on the injury report.
Still, steel yourself emotionally for a Hayward-esque demolition of Brogdon’s body tonight. It’s in play.
I don’t know what will happen with the mavs, except this.
Almost every single preseason poll has them rated as 7th or worse in the Western Conference. I know this to be bad analysis. I am sure they will be a 6th seed or likely higher unless Luka gets hurt. People ignore that they had the second best record in the NBA the second half of last season and/or think losing a 14ppg score is franchise crushing.

Small bets;
Denver over 48.5
Toronto over 48 (wish I got it at 46.5)
Utah under 23
Charlotte under 34.5

I’m so happy we are going to have an Unstuck Mathurin ROY fan club.
Probably yes unless you’re an efficiency build
Actually almost definitely yes bc your league settings are

Maybe I should have went with the $5 league….
Was talking to a younger friend yesterday who played against him at Canadian nationals at u18 level
can’t find Mathurin ROY on Bovada, all they have listed for season awards are MVP
comes up if you google it but that link just goes to the MVP futures
Guh don’t remind me. I was so excited for that and came out of a meeting to 20+ texts trolling me about the injury - good times.
I think Tatum comes back on a mission and brings it home this year tbh.

It’s nice to see Harden back to being Harden.
But it also sucks.

He looks better than he did for the entirety of last season.
