The takeaway for the heat is how good Hill/Love were along with the other young guys playing bigger minutes. I knew Melo would perform but for us to be 3rd best record in east without Al Jefferson or Brand (and now Jermaine) is surprising
Rudy F eats at the PG slot, Rubio is going to get a lot of assists and steals when he gets off the leash, and Ludovic Vaty is pretty legit already as a non lotto pick.
Need to address our big man situation. Paul/JJ/Ersan with Redick and Jefferson backing them up looks pretty legit on the wings. Jason Thompson and Biedrins aren’t consistent enough for the elite bigs in the league. Marion also got a lot of time up front due to injuries/foul trouble
Was hoping to get Collison's TOs to below 4, but 4.1 isn't end of the world. Also, I'm extremely shocked with Rose's TOs, which shot up when transitioning from PG to SG. Think we'll get those in control
Yao EATS at PF. That's also awesome.
Need to figure out if we run:
PG: Collison SG: Rose
or
PG: Rose SG: Wall
or
PG: Rose SG: Collison
Press: Always never works but when you have guys with high steals it should and I dunno pisses me off. Lou is also really good. He’d average 25+ as the PG
TP / Bron backcourt is fun.
Rest of team is a mess.
Like the concept of having one David Lee/Chris Bosh type player but having two does not feel ideal.
Do think we have enough offensive talent to make more noise than last year though.
also we are toeing the hardcap and next year will be tough (impossible) to keep everyone around. That would hurt less if “everyone” was a championship roster and we were just taking a little step back. But pre clearly defines that they are not. So it’s a puzzle the next few seasons.
