After the dust settled/Brad's pressers it became clearer that the organization saw last year's success as more of a confirmation of how they can win under a singular star system (defense, shooting, OREBs, low TOs), which they then HEAVILY leaned into this offseason
They gave the Jaylen role to a top 5 player and beefed up all of the margin areas that were the foundation of their success under that approach. I think there were obviously CBA factors, but the root of it is they found a formula that works for this current era, and enhanced it
It is SO hard to win any year in the NBA – there’s so much randomness and it all has to go your way. But if anything, the focus of our players and staff is even FIERCER than it was last fall! So excited for the challenge ahead – can't wait for tonight. Let’s go get #19! 💍☘️💪
Nicola Plalum has been showing out so far during the first game set here at the #E75. He is a lengthy wing who can knock down shots from behind the arc as well as block the ball at a high rate
@KalvinCatchings Shines Bright on and Off the Court! As the Highest Ranking Student! And
The Head of School Award!
Which is presented to the student who is most outstanding in character, deportment, and scholarship, and who has been a good influence upon his fellow students.
One of my wings from my 9th grade team after he won the Maine State Championship. Nico and the team are the best 9th grade team in the state of Maine. We want more than that though @RivalsNation @RivalsElite
During the last few min of this game, one last huge THANK YOU to @celticsvoice Mike Gorman, as good a play-by-play guy as there ever will be. This is his last game - we’ll miss him SO much. Thanks Mike, for everything! ☘️💪
