We requested you in regards to the greatest surprises and disappointments from the season so far. Beneath are the outcomes from that survey. There was additionally a league-wide ballot that had some fascinating outcomes (outlined under).
Beginning with the largest surprises:
Kristaps has actually match this group completely. Not solely does he intensify what they already did properly, he additionally provides a number of dimensions that they didn’t have beforehand. He’s the “curveball” that Mazzulla spoke at size about this offseason.
Regardless of a few current losses, the group stays on the high of the standings at 48-14, so it isn’t a shock that there aren’t loads of disappointments with this season (so far). As all the time, it boils down with what occurs within the playoffs.
This end result was from the league-wide ballot and I used to be somewhat shocked by how excessive Jayson Tatum was right here. Quite a lot of analysts have talked about SGA and Doncic as being ranked forward of Tatum. As I hold saying, if I needed to choose one, I’d quite have him win Finals MVP.
Lastly, a really fascinating end result right here from the league-wide survey. Mazzulla getting greater than 1⁄3 of the outcomes is important. Positive, he’s obtained a stacked roster, however he’s gotten them to purchase in and fulfill their potential (so far). Typically instances this goes to a group that over-achieves in comparison with preseason expectations. Maybe folks weren’t precisely bought on Boston’s possibilities earlier than the season. Regardless, it will likely be fascinating to see how the precise awards go.
