  1. I think you've answered the question on the alignment of how they "can win 14 more games." The answer is the top 10 defense. The team did not have a great defense last yeah and if they do, they can absolutely can win 40+ games. Keep the games close and Book is MVP level Book the absolutely can.

  2. They will win more games for the exact reasons that you already stated. Identity is better than talent. Identity doesn't get injured or call it in. We had plenty of that last year. No more boring isolation offense and listless defense. Bet the over….

  3. For me this a reflection of the season we had with Rubio and we were like one or two wins away from the play in/play offs. We didn't have high expectations but we saw potential and games were fun to watch. This season resembles that same one

  4. Our bigs are all playable that we could do double or triple big lineup with a mix of Mark, Oso, Maluach, and Nick. OKC was successful with double big, Rockets as well (they just did 4 big lineup and blew the opposing team).
