You're on to something. We need to rip a page from Lawrence Taylor's playback and send escorts to Thibs hotel room the night before games.

Why so he can yell at them and have them do defensive drills?

I mean... Everyone has their fetishes. Who am I to judge if he wants to yell "Iiiiicccceeee" upon completion.

RJ is a 2? Grimes is a 3? I did not see that.
Does this video address who plays the 3?

Good cause if anyone has a few bucks to spare.

This was made after the trade for Cam. Might be old news for some but this kid coming to camp healthy is key to his career. He had some Tendon issues in ankle coming from ATL.
Another lost season heading into unrestricted FA puts him in a bad place unless someone loves him. not saying he goes t Kevin Knox never never land but one year contracts are not good for security.

Best case is he kicks ass in camp and can score a multi year extension and room to breath. Worst is he gets one nagging injury that causes a domino effect.
No videos or hype. We gonna just have to see what happens. On the court or as trade chip, his assension would be welcome!

The most troubling thing about that pic is how Thibs is starting to look like Dolan

And I should clarify - I am optimistic that Randle will come back strong. I hope he does.

Things to like this offseason:

Free agency additions of Brunson and Hart. Take two of our worst positions and upgraded.

Randle looks a bit more slim and his footwork looks improved. Will help with his off the ball movement. Looks like a guy ready to embrace Brunson and his position as primary ball handler. Very positive sign. I’m ready to forgive last season. Looking forward to seeing the energy he brings this season.

Fournier leading France to Silver in EuroBasket. He played gritty on offense. Didn’t see any clips on defense, but some of his moves to get back to the 3pt line showed a quickness I haven’t seen before from him. Good stuff. Hope he brings that energy to camp.

Barrett’s contract takes a lot of question marks off the table. Perhaps it allows him not to press so hard and be that two way player he is showing. Shows a lot more strength which will help him against bigger SFs. Hope that added strength shows on his ability to finish at the hoop. Still has all the ability to be the number one on this team.

Mitch Robinson’s sky hook. Nuff said.

Sounding like we will have a healthy starting 5 walking into camp. Might have a healthy 10 if Rose is ready. I think the best second unit in the league now has a starting unit that looks like it will hold its own.

I’m aching to see something from Cam Reddish (happy birthday!). He is the guy I am actually most excited about. Might still have the highest upside on this team. Hoping he gets a real shot this year.

This is the Randle.

Biggest thing for me, is that is another year of RJ, Randle, MR playing together. As well as most of our bench. Many who call to trade this guy or dump that guy don't understand the importance of continuity in basketball. Boston's main guys have been playing together for many years. Their fans were also calling for trades but they finally saw the benefits of sticking with players and letting them form chemistry. Most good teams in the East have a consistent roster who have played together for years.
