If you really dont think he’s a big reason for Pels increasing wins each year, I don’t know what more to say.

You’re framing it more as BI is the major reason for those wins- I think thats a false narrative. There are ton of other big reasons we have those wins as well- Herb defense/shooting, Zion, CJ, Trey, Jonas, naji/jose etc. Is a BI part of that? Absolutely. But to frame it as “hes the big reason we increased our wins” and then to act like he has no accountability for our failures and limited ceiling is a silly take.

Its like because he helps increase our wins each year, he cant be held accountable for the teams failures. Its the exact garbage Griffin and Willie were doing this year until Willie had enough. Its time to stop babying these players and expect more from these players and this team.
