sacrifice. That's what Donovan Mitchell's doing this year. I absolutely love it. And I take them seriously as a title contender. And the other thing that I love is like people wanted to break up Mitchell and Garland. And there was even some thought, Bill, that Garland wanted out. Remember last offseason?

Of course. And then same thing with Evan Mobley and Jared Allen. Can they play together? They keep them together. And I love continuity. I know you're big on this as well. Like the longer teams stay together, the easier. Like that's why Philadelphia like this year, I didn't believe in him anyway, because it's three guys being thrown together that you knew weren't going to play a ton.

Like continuity means something. And now they're at the point where they know each other inside and out. So I take him as a legitimate threat. I have him number two behind Boston in the East.

Their wings are a concern, and I guess how they deal with size is a little bit of a concern at the guard position, which is why Boston matches up well against them with Holiday and White and Tierman Brown.

No, no, I wasn't going to. I was going to. I'll make a Terry Rozier joke. Would you bet on Donovan Mitchell or Jalen Brunson? If you're Terry Rozier, would you put money on Jalen Brunson or Donovan Mitchell in a series? Because don't forget, Brunson's beat him twice, outplayed him twice. Once when Mitchell was in Utah, once when he was in Cleveland.

Well, don't you? I mean, they killed Becky Hammond for saying the same exact thing. So be careful, Bill.

We interviewed David Griffin and Alvin Gentry the night they got that pick. We were there at the draft lottery. Those guys were as happy as could be, and it might end up like it already cost Alvin Gentry his job, and it might cost David Griffin his job. So they were ecstatic about it at the time, but now they might lose their job as a result to him. Gentry already did.
