I saw the media tried to make it out that the Celtics had an easy path to the finals. They went 64-18 during the season and 16-3 in the postseason. That is absolute domination from start to finish. Awesome to see Indiana native Brad Stevens get his first ring!! I hope the Pacers close the gap and look forward to battling the Celtics the next few years. -
I do agree about the great OL and play caller. The DL will come down whether Latu is a legit stud pass rusher right away. JT has been a great RB, but not the past two years. The receivers are solid, but seems like most teams have good-great WR groups anymore. This feels like a "if everything goes right" kind of thing. But it's the offseason. -
Sure. It's possible that teams could have had boards that included many WRs as R1 grades, including Mitchell, and they just chose one over him. I worded that weirdly, but what I meant was that teams that didn't have him as a R1 player, it was for reasons beyond the rumors in this article. But the "surefire first rounder until he was done dirty by rumors" doesn't track. We know that AD ranked poorly in some advanced metrics (like yards per route run) that typically operate as requisites for successful NFL WRs (outliers are rare). We know what some team scouts had concerns from his Combine drills. And we know what happened at the draft. And those comments that McGinn published weren't even his thoughts...they too were from NFL scouts. Seems like the easiest and logical explanation is that teams had legit concerns (for multiple reasons) about AD and that, not rumors, is what pushed him down in the draft. But Destin seems to be spinning a couple of those concerns (that Ballard had addressed) to drive his narrative.

Thanks @TheNewGuy You’re right, nothing new to us in the article. But it’s nice to read anything from the national media about the Colts. I for one love it that most of the talking heads rarely mention the Colts. But I’m guessing that media coverage will increase exponentially as the season goes on! (However, I was also very excited when we got Matt Ryan. So I may not be the best prognosticator…) -
But… they didn’t. Banner #18!! This team has the potential to dominate for the next 4-5 seasons. We will see what happens, but this was one of the best NBA teams of all time.
