Call me crazy but there is a real chance Dadiet is 9th man tonight. Assuming Josh is still starting, either we go with 3 small guards off the bench or we use Dadiet. There really is no other option. Barring a big shift (Josh to the bench), I have a feeling we get 10-12 mins of Dadiet tonight.

toughness was replaced by finesse? Really? This narrative needs to die. DD/Randle/IHart are all literally upgraded. After 4 years of "trade Randle and get Bridges" suddenly now we lost Ben Wallace and Chauncey Billups

Watch after a month when KAT is grabbing 12 boards and blocking a couple shots a game and folks will be like "oh ok"

Also Bridges MIGHT be a better defender than DD... we will see

If you read Bondy you will become dumber for it. He has always been a hack

You know what would be amazing. If we all got our shooting back tonight and blow out the Celtics. Bridges was just playing possum all along.

Hope we win but not going to overreact if we don't. We have a new team and it's going to take time to jell plus playing in Boston is always a tough task.

The thing I was thinking last night is if Kat just shoots his normal percentage from 3 he will have so many 30/40pt games. He was getting so many open 3's in preseason. He just missed most of them. He still was having good point output.

He's gonna start the game w/ Horford on him. Who plays center for them after that?

Bondy is wrong? if you don' like "Finesse" he is an idiot? All he is saying is it MIGHT be different. Last year we won very Thibian fashion.
This year could look different.
OG is very tough but not a bully ball type. He will destroy you but not sneer and stand over his opponent. Kat? I expect his blocks and Rebounding to get back to pre Rudy years and when he was not hurt. He will be more animated and we will love him for it! Mikal is also sneaky, his defense is one of "finesse". Gone is DDV's three celebrations which we did love.
With Randle gone you do lose a bully ball snarl that was great. iHart also was pretty animated and physical.
I get what Bondy is saying. Mostly its our offense will be higher ranked than our defense. Thats not a typical Thibs team.
Im not sure he is entirely wrong. But we won't know for 50 some odd games and if Mitch actually plays (not traded).

What is evident Josh Hart is lost. Is he caught up on the "finesse" thing?? By that is he trying to fit into a new schematic? On offense he looks it.

We have time for this? It's game day and, as far as I can tell, Scorebot is still missing? Seriously, how bad would it be if the Knicks did win a title and Scorebot isn't even here to see it! And Toddbot... don't even get me started. He doesn't even post cheerleading pics anymore.

Constantly complaining about his back too, the shtick is getting old

OK pretty sure our boy TOWNS has Embiid in a clean headlock and is about to start pounding him like Nolan Ryan did you Ventura back in the day. But it got busted up. SOFT

I understand its not MY ADD medicine but I took it anyway
