These strength of schedule need to be taken with a grain of salt.

We played Kings twice with no Fox and will play Nuggets twice with no Murray.

Do they take that level of stuff into effect? Because injured key players really lower the level of a team.

I do think Porzingis should be offensive option #2 on that team late in games.

Brown is just not that creative of an offensive player. He is great over an entire game, but at the end of the game I would go Tatum or Porzingis if you are going to call a play for a guy. Then you have so may other good offensive assets (Brown, Jhrue, Hauser) if the other team goes too aggressive on Tatum/Porzingis.

Haven't watched a ton of Celtics this year, but Porzingis has always been a great single possession guy.

When y'all played us, it was rough basketball. Is Fox just that important to your system? Also could have just been some bad shooting + main creator out.

Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby!

They should just do 1 game suspensions for this stuff after reviewing games.

Humans are highly competitive. People will do whatever it takes to win. So punish them when that crosses the line into dangerous and intentional. Over time players will know that anything dangerous/intentional is an auto suspension and will hurt their pockets.

Just 2 back to back games in the pre-season, and I can tell our guys hate the Spurs. Will be a good rivalry this year. Feels like Spurs have a little mental edge going into season after last 2 performances. But our team has a lot of defense/grit guys, so should be good chip on shoulder stuff.
