I am surprised they are putting up this good of a fight. I dont think any other team would even be close to winning a playoff round missing their two best players.Boston is a dumpster fire right now.
Couple things about the Bucks:
-- Thon Maker is having a real impact on the game with his defense. If we could add a long, hyper-mobile defender like that, it would take our defense to another level.
-- Giannis hit a 3. It looks like he's doing that a bit now.
Would not be shocked if Maker is on the market for a second round pick this off season
Still not sure if that would be a good deal either, not completely convinced he belongs in the league. At the moment he's role player in the nba at best or a g league all star.
Stretch 4 who cant really shoot that well and mostly takes contested dribble midrange pull ups?I wonder if Rudy Gay will opt into the last year of his deal ($8.5Mish).
He is giving the Spurs some really good minutes in the playoffs and could be a really nice big 3/stretch 4 option for a number of teams. Really curious to see what his market would look like.
Why cant Hayward play with those 2 guys? They could make a trade but a lineup of Irving Brown Hayward Tatum Horford will probably win the East and make the finals. They never got a chance to see what this team is yet. Although if a big name player became available I could see them making a run at them but only if they got a steal of a deal on that player.I wonder if Boston will blow up this team like it did last offseason? IT was flawed but he was the heart and soul of that team, Avery Bradley was loved there and Ainge didn't even blink when trading them.
Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum are impressive wings...will ainge trade one or both of them to free up time for Hayward to fix their pf position or do something about their unnatural fixation on AD?

I think if he could be had for a 2nd round pick, that's a real steal. As Catchall said, he's making a huge impact defensively. I'd love our player development guys to get their hands on him. If we could get 12-15 minutes out of a guy like him in a rim protect/stretch 5 role, with what he already get out of Rudy and Faves, hoo baby. It would take our paint ownership into the stratosphere.
