I definitely think if OG and then of course Hart and Brunson had stayed healthy we would have had a really good shot at winning it all this year.

I am worried it will never be this wide open again. We will be better next year but most likely so will the competition.

I agree, and it makes all those moments where we risked it all to win one game, and all those times we brought a player back from injury too soon even more infuriating. For all the “we wouldn’t have finished 2nd without pushing the limits” talk, well we didn’t need to finish 2nd. We just needed our health. The great irony of this year is we treated so many ordinary games like a game 7, and the one game 7 we actually played we had no players left. If we do this again next year, shame on us.

I am worried it will never be this wide open again. We will be better next year but most likely so will the competition.

Yep. That definitely has the possibility of being haunting.

Us at full strength (including Randle and Mitch and Bogey) versus them at full strength, I still like our odds

They could very easily be up 2-1
