    they managed to get me to quit caring too much several years ago, so now I'm just only slightly hopeful they'll be decent and make me actually want to catch a few games

    but make no mistake, I'm surely in a "show me first" state of mind at this point

    At least Boston will have more competition if Philly stays healthy. They've been really aggressive this summer.

    Additions:
    PG, Caleb Martin, Drummond, Lowry, Eric Gordon, Reggie Jackson and drafted Bona.

    They need to find a backup SF by Feb to give them some more size or for when PG gets hurt. Maybe they stagger Martin and Oubre until then. But they have a pretty good 9 man unit for the East

    Hopefully the Sixers and Knicks stay healthy to seriously challenge the C Bags. I'm hopeful we actually get a compelling East this year. I think the Sixers will be really good, but its easy to envision PG going 2/11 in a pivotal Game 5 and getting boo'd by that fan base.

    Cause they need space to eat some of our end of bench rubbish and we can clear roster space AND get Kessler.

    Hopefully it's that and not Lauri Markkanen going to GSW

    It would be kind of funny if, after all this time, Ainge becomes the only GM that will play ball with us lol.

    They chose to REALLY read between the lines a LOT

    said they thought the Lakers should have beaten them

    saying it was because of coaching is really filling in the blanks

    Or they didn't expect Tinkerbell to choke again, and have Rui join him?
