The excitement is palpable as the new season approaches! Today’s media day was a treasure trove of unfiltered goodness, and I’m still basking in the glow. It’s been months since we’ve had this level of access, and I’m grinning from ear to ear.
As we inch closer to the start of the new season, the signs are everywhere. Even before the first preseason game, the pundits are already weighing in. One notable commentator recently shared his thoughts on the challenges of repeating as champions. And he’s right – it’s no easy feat. The league is more talented than ever, and it’s no coincidence that we haven’t seen a repeat champion since 2018.
However, I think it’s time to give credit where credit is due. Our team’s impressive performance last season, capped off with a championship win, suggests that they’re a force to be reckoned with. The fact that other teams are scrambling to bolster their rosters, adding rim protection and perimeter defenders, speaks volumes. They know that to win a title, they’ll likely need to go through our team, and they’re preparing accordingly.
It’s amusing to hear pundits say that no one is intimidated by our team, yet they’re the ones making moves to counter our strengths. It’s a classic case of “doth protest too much.” The reality is that our team’s dominance last season has set a new standard, and others are trying to follow suit.
I used to get riled up by such opinions, but now I see them as a badge of honor. It’s a sign that our team has reached the pinnacle of success, and others are trying to emulate their path. Bring on the season – I’m ready for the drama, the excitement, and the inevitable hot takes from the pundits!
