   Can’t wait for teams to try to attack on defense only to be met with our side banner picture

   Take your chance and shoot your shot. But the Hause always wins.

   But he ain’t getting defensive player of the year because they don’t want to give it to the Celtics 2 years in a row :/

    I don’t really know (or care) how that stat is calculated, but I’m sure it’s so good because of the volume of iso he gets pulled into. It’s still like teams don’t believe that the white dude off the bench can actually stick with them on defense. Teams have been doing it all year, and with extremely few exceptions Hauser has prevailed every time.

    We have needed a player like Hauser for years now, and it’s amazing that Brad nailed this contract before any of us could see it. This guy is going to be of the best role player contracts in the league going into next year.

    All those idiot coaches targeting him are a big part of the reason. He’s been getting a lot of practice.

    But I was told on here when he was mired in a shooting slump that he was worthless and we needed to trade for another wing 🤔

    I remember looking at peak Duncan Robinson and hoping we could land a player like him. Now we have a better version of him.
