Yes, those three have a history of injury and that’s a valid discussion but I think it’s unfair to say that the team we’ve seen the first 6 games was part of any original vision.
Bingo. Part of the new NBA is getting, fit and healthy, to the play-offs. You think in this version it was likely Kyrie and AD get their physically fit and healthy, while carrying the burden of being #1 (a/b) options, something neither has been for the last 7-8 years. Years in which they already missed large parts of the seasons. And let´s factor in that Al Bundy has hired his family Peg, Kelly and Bud to run the medical department.
