I have enjoyed watching how Boston is quietly making themselves worse. Marcus Smart, the guy who brought toughness to that team and was the defensive leader, now in Memphis. Grant Williams, traded to Dallas, always could give Giannis fits with his strong lower body and overall strength. Giannis never has problems with tall, lanky guys like Porzingis (who has a horrible track record of staying healthy). I think Boston felt like they had to do something for the sake of doing something.....I don't like their team as much today as I did last season or 2 seasons ago. Bucks were smart, IMO, keeping a very talented group together and didn't overreact to the loss against Miami (who proved they were good by getting to the NBA Finals after the Eastern Conference Finals in 2022).
