Maybe, but I have a hard time imagining this squad doing what the Clippers did last year. It would essentially take everything to break just right in terms of player development and health though. I just think they're treading water until next offseason when they have the opportunity to land Beal (or Plan B, if it comes to that). Then again, I wouldn't have predicted Atlanta being an ECF team last year, so what do I know? Sports, man.
TL, Horford
Tatum, Grant W.
Brown, Nesmith
Richardson, Langford
Smart, Pritchard
it's a playoff team (I'm reasonably certain), but an ECF team? It'd be a fun ride, if it were to happen.
