I already had a bad feeling if this team was going to win easy (blowouts or play a C level game for 3.5 quarters and then win in the last 6 minutes). It seems like their one way to win was to just smother teams. That is a lot to ask in todays NBA. Looking at the schedule, I don't see any easy games. Especially with one of our two best players out and your 3-4th best player (Lively). PJ twisted his ankle and who know how much Kyrie can take. They have some home games but it feels like a bad stretch is coming. Plus, Gafford is your one big man right now. Kelly isn't an NBA player and who else is left to play the 5? I am sure they will play hard on most nights, but there just isn't much there.
