Post three concerns for your team heading into 2017-18

Injuries, shooting, oh and did I mention injuries?

 

[HurricaneDij39]

I get it. Watching a live abortion would probably be a better idea than watching the Pacers this season.

And yet, I'll still probably end up seeing them face the Mavs two days after Christmas...Two likely lottery teams, so at least I ain't a frontrunner.

Awesome

The owner, the coach and the players......


Wait for it...

Hawks

1. Lack of offense
2. Lack of Defense
3. No above average young players.

 

[gordontrue]

1. IT's health
2. Big-Man Depth
3. Lue. (He's proven himself from a chemistry/motivation standpoint. Hoping to see him make some Xs-and-Os strides. AKA, better utilization of the rest of the coaching staff.)

 

[shopson67]

1. Health - keep these kids learning and healthy

2. Front Office - don't give away any more young talent to dump a contract

3. Front Office - don't sacrifice young talent to chase the big names

I don't expect a lot out of the Lakers this year other than growth as a team. I just hope the front office doesn't stomp on that trying to rush the process.

I am concerned and troubled that this Bulls team might end up in 2nd or 3rd place in the D league.

 

[Cyder]

Knicks

We suck
We really suck
James Dolan still owns the team

Guys I have been out in the Alaskan Bush the last week and a half. Rainbow fishing was crazy good so really have few concerns. Bears stayed away mpstly so all was safe.

Celtics: I actually am in a pretty sweet place. I dont expect a title this year but maybe a hard run towards it. I expect Danny will need to make one final big trade to get his big three in place. So with that, my concerns are:

1. We cannot rebound
2. Kyrie tries to overreacte and pass too much
3. Lakers play too well and we dont get that #2 through 6 pick

Its a year towards the goal, and maybe in some strange twist, the goal comes early.

I meant to answer this last week and one of the three would have been a third scorer. That one disappeared over the weekend so I'll list these:

1. Team chemistry, what is best for the team has to be in the forefront and if it is the talent is there.
2. Adams has to develop into a monster, he should be averaging 12 rebounds a game.
3. Defense, this team should be one of if not the best defensive team in the league.

 

[RobToxin]

Three concerns for the Spurs:
1. Golden State
2. Houston
3. Oklahoma City Thunder

Am I doing it right?

You can cross number 2 off your list right now. Don't worry about Kyrie passing too much. He won't.

Local paers suggest he wants to show the world he can be a true point w/o Lebron around. We will see

Not sure Kyrie knows what a true point guard is. I honestly think he may just want the ball in his hands more. True PGs look to pass first. No way Kyrie will ever be that. Nor should he.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

PG
SG
SF
PF
C
Bench

1-2-3-4-5-6


Pick 3

 

[Four4Four]

1. Embiid

2. Embiid

3. Embiid

 

[ManuForever]

I've already posted, but it has come up to me since I posted that not only will the Spurs' defense likely suffer, but their starting 5 is screwed defensively regardless of who plays. Only 2 elite defenders at any time in any lineup, Green and Leonard. I hate that the front office didn't load up on anyone else this off-season.

I think he wants to show he's a true Superstar w/o Lebron, versus a true point guard. The first can absolutely be true, but I find the second to be a bit out of reach. Kyrie's game is about getting buckets. It's what he's elite at doing and what makes him most effective. What Kyrie really needs is a secondary facilitator, which hopefully for the Celtics Hayward can do.

Well to your point the Butler offense was always about everyone capable to deliver vs shoot and certainly movement.
