We still have that same team we had after the break, maybe even worse with THT being replaced by rookies.

We have the same key players that led a team to a 15-5 record sans KO and Tech as well. The schedule in our awful back half was tough but also it’s Mickey Mouse March. Don’t take that portion of the schedule as gospel either way good or bad.

Yeah but how much of that was lack of cohesion and continuity? Yanking 3 guys from rotation and putting guys like Hendricks and Brice in who looked like they didnt know where they are supposed to be or what they are supposed to do.

Basketball is a team sport and when you make major changes to the team it always looks messy at the beginning with roles, chemistry and rotations being lost.

Even with the same group as end of last year… tha approach in game 1 will be different than game 50
last year.

That team fully quit after the trade. The FO was blatantly tanking and the team was pretty down after the trade and mostly threw in the towel. They also held a ton of guys out. I wouldn't base us on that.
 
I'm a firm believer of Hardy. Which is part of the reasons Danny has been shopping Kessler, bc losing that rim defense would eff up defensive rotations so much. If you'll remove his rim defense, this team will lose many close games it might win with him.

Then again, now Hardy has anyone close to Dunn's skill set and experience in the back court D so I'd guess Jazz defense will be a tough watch in many games

My prediction will be Lofton and Collier breaking into solid rotation minutes. Both of them are not great defenders but they try and are good in some facets of D. Both also make plays to their team mate so the bench might be surprisingly competitive against lesser teams especially.

That dudes shtick is the young players on any team other than the Jazz. Also loves to throw shade and sneaky hate on Lauri and Hardy.

Jerami Grant is their best player, so yeah saying they will be better than us is just him projecting development there and not here.

Sorry that being objective hurts you. I'm also trying to understand how I sneaky hate on Lauri. He's a number 2 and I don't think anyone on here will claim otherwise.

We know that's not true because they were never capable of trading 3+ picks and 3+ swaps.

Sure they were… just have to have some work around language.
