I can see the love for Boston after getting Holiday, however, I don't think many take into account depth here.
After Boston's top 6, it seems they will be relying on Hauser, Pritchard, Kornet. Not really familiar with the rest.
The NBA is a long season, and Boston will need some load management with the oft injured Porzingis and the 37 year old Horford and likely Holiday too.
I think, and hope for the Bucks sake, that our depth will be the difference in a long season and playoff series.
