BOLD

Possible replies:

Darn auto-correct turned "all nba slot" into "rotation role" somehow.
I guess we can't all be so bold as to consider Jaylen ts% as something worth predicting.
Yes, I B OLD. Ageism is a bad look for you.


I do mean rotation thru the playoffs tho. Like 8th man level, not just "he'll play some".

I had written a prediction about him losing the blinders but it was too preposterous to qualify as 'bold' :D

Honestly my prediction is that one of the random deep-benchers we picked up will (hopefully?) prove to be a useful contributor for the team.. I guess.

I think we are going to be surprised at how much Svi Mykhailiuk contributes this season. I think he becomes a rotation 2nd team guard behind Holiday and White. The wide open looks he will get playing alongside those two, hitting 40% from three, not to mention running with Tatum and Brown, it's going to be a beautiful thing.

As a side note, I would love to see a 2nd team of Pritchard, Svi, Hauser, Brissett and Horford. Bombs away, baby!!!

When Jrue returns to Milwaukee, we’ll hear Bobby Henan yelling “oh my god he’s the third man!!”

Then he’ll leg drop Giannis

Porzingis will make second-team all-defense. Tatum will not, and will destroy Porzingis one-on-one in the gym in retaliation.

Just saw a highlight where Portis posting up Brissett, and he stood his ground and blocks bobby clean. Could be the guy that does the dirty work.

Tatum averages 35 and wins MVP
because: open 3s. go in. fun!
(and maybe they rest him like 8 games as a tradeoff for bombing away all day every day when he plays)

While I consider myself a top 3 PP stan, I would love to see Banton, a 6'9ish PG blossom. Since my 1980s Celtics, I have always loved and believed in Big teams across the board. If Banton is or can be a pass first PG with enough shooting ability to keep defenses honest, then I am all for it.

Flip side I see PP having a surprisingly great year for a reserve. His shooting/play-making will rise with his new opportunities.
