Despite the obvious, maybe all time offensive firepower they’ve assembled, I can’t seem to shake the feeling that there is no chance in hell we see them making noise past the first or second round. Curious to hear the counter arguments, if that’s how you really feel.

    Their roster reminds me a lot of the Heatles rosters. Eric Gordon at this stage of his career is not going to be much better than Chalmers… Old and constantly injured Nurk is a good passer and rebounder but might be bad overall in the playoffs . They have 3 players and possibly nobody else who will be consistently solid

      Really funny to act like Gordon and Nurk are our only rotation options when Yuta Watanabe and Nassir Little just dropped 23 combined on you guys. Drew Eubanks also posterized Rui Hachimura. On top of that we have Grayson Allen coming off the bench who’s a proven playoff contributor.

        Cmon , we know preseason performances really don’t mean anything for how players will play in the regular season. I’ve seen a lot of players who never became solid have great preseason games.

        There’s preseason-good, then there’s regular season good, then playoff-good. I don’t trust any of your role players to have 4 good games in a playoff series.

          Good thing Allen won’t be holding up the majority of the offensive load. And we don’t need guys to be on fire, we just need reliable spot up shooters and defense.

          But we also know that Allen, Gordon, and Yuta are legit very good NBA players and excellent shooters.

        Yeah but none of that matters when the Jazz sweep you after THT wins his 3rd straight MVP…

        Oh wait, that’s right, preseason doesn’t mean shit …

          lol who the fuck is saying that any of our bench guys are gonna be perennial talents. the point is that “no depth” is a myth at this point, we have plenty of solid rotation options come the regular season/play offs. Stay butthurt your biggest signing this season was Christian Wood.
