This goes against everything Ballard would do, however it would be something that Irsay would love to do as he is a romantic. Probability is very very low though. -

This would make us much better and talk about excitement, we really haven't been legit good since 2020 when Rivers surprisingly played good and Taylor was up and coming, + Leonard was a maniac back then. I have had tremendous patience with this team and Ballard. It's time to crap or get off the pot, being average gets old after a while. This fanbase is used to us making the playoffs every year, when it hasn't happened in 3 seasons, time to do something. -

Boston takes an L at home against a Butlerless Heat team. I can't stand Boston, this is too funny.
