Sreiously, at some point, we need to look at ourselves honestly, and see what we are missing to put ourselves into serious title contention.
Cause at this point, it looks like we're almost there.
We're 15 - 2, just got through beating the title favorite Warriors, practically shutting them down after the half, shutting down their star players in incredible fashion, and we're doing this as a young team practically playing together for the first time, that had to make an adjustment on the fly after losing an All-Star in the very first game of the season. We're not supposed to be this good this fast, especially after losing Hayward.
Our defense is top shelf, and our offense has potential. We've become good at closing out games, even if we're down late in games.
Jaylen and Tatum are developing fast, and are key contributors who will only get better and take enormous steps forward.
We've got 2 All-Stars in Kyrie and Horford, who play extremely well together, reminding us of Stockton and Malone.
And we have a handful of supporting players who can step up and fill in -- Morris, Baynes, Smart and Rozier.
The other guys have occasional noticeable games (Theis, Semi, Larkin).
I would say having another impactful big man close to 7 feet who can defend will only make us stronger. And adding 2 more solid contributors to give us a really solid 8 or 9 man rotation will cement our status as true contenders.
