#1 Thank you for being the absolute best Brad, you're the hero we need.
#2 I really hope that rebounding and transition defense improves as the season progresses. I feel like both have been pretty bad this preseason.
#3 Dyson's defense has been incredible. I know it's preseason and it's an incredibly small sample size but in the 3 games we've played, teams have gone 40-124 or 32.2% combined from 3. To put into perspective, if we continue this trend throughout the duration of the regular season, we would have the best perimeter defense in the league. I know it's a really small sample size and preseason but it really has me excited for what we can do.
#4 How do you feel about Walker Kessler? He would further improve our defense and we, theoretically, shouldn't see THAT much of a dip in the rebounding we've got now. I know Ainge wants an arm and a leg for whatever move he makes but the idea of Walker has always intrigued me.
