The way Lillard seems like a whiny baby about not getting the respect he deserves (he doesn't) I'd love to see him fall flat on his face in the first round.

According to talking heads I follow, without Boogie's lumbering rear end they can play Gentry-ball. They now lead the league in pace. Also Holiday is good

They were top 5 in pace with Cousins. The main problem was that you couldn't play Rondo and Boogie at the same time because Rondo's role was completely redundant with Cousins. He offered nothing when they were on the floor together.

That and getting much needed depth in Mirotic along with all the new players this offseason starting to feel comfortable is what had them with a similar record before and after Boogie injury.

They have just enough passing, shooting, and footspeed. Ball-handling is less than I would like but it is good enough as long as neither Jrue or Rondo miss a lot of time.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
NO playing like this rules because it’s basically a team full of people that groupthink dismissed way too early.

I feel like he hurts your team in a lot of situations. Situations where he's passing to Anthony Davis are probably where he's best.

He only fits when you need another playmaker but can live without shooting and bad guard defense.
