Let me go on. Next to scorers like Luka and Kyrie, you gotta have players who can defend the better guard/forward while hitting open 3s. This team now goes 2 deep at that guard position (Green, Exum) and at least 2 deep at forward (Wash, Kleber, Jones). When could we ever say that before? Like, ever? And when (other than 2011) have we had 2 competent rim-protectors at center? I moved here and started watching in 2001. This is the best-looking squad I’ve seen em field. And maybe the youngest. If they don’t reach the NBA’s version of the final four, it will be Luka or Kyrie’s fault.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
