I gotta go with the C’s, but man, it feels like hubris to put any number on the game total.
The X-factor? Is Derrick White too well-known to be an X-factor? Or Jrue Holiday? These guys will have their hands full on the defensive end of the court, and if either one of them is also able to pack a punch on the offensive end, that could be a huge difference-maker.
