But honestly, I am starting to think that the team took Brunson walking just as hard as some of us fans… Harder than most. I think some of the lackluster efforts we saw in the first half of the season might be attributable to them being butthurt that they lost their 2nd best player/team leader. I really do.
But now, I bet they feel like management went out and got them a chance to compete again.
I guess that’s a theory. I’d like to think these fellas are more professional than that.
My take is it lifts everybody’s game to have a point guard on the floor. I know I’m gonna draw ire with this. But Luka and Spence are scorers first. Brunson too. Kyrie is a complete floor general. Has a lot to do with McGee’s reappearance imho. It’s gonna help THJ second most.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
