Hope he doesnt play the starters more than 15-18 mins today!I agree, I can't wait for JJ to play a ton score 20 and then have everyone gush over how he is the next KG. That is just the thing we need to kick the preseason Pierce is hurt depression that is permeating this blog.
I would like to see our bench play the majority of the game :D
Since Doc seems to be warming quickly, i'll also keep an eye on keyon dooling. i was verrrrry dissapointed to know that delonte wouldn't be back and still havent warmed up to dooling quite yet.
TP. Go Celtics!
Rondo is just knocking these jumpers down. His form actually looks pretty good.
JO actually looks like he's healthy for the first time in a couple of seasons, and I can already tell that Bass is an upgrade over BBD.
Bass seems so much less frustrating than Baby.

I will miss Davis' whiney look on his face when he has no idea why he had a foul called on him.
I really don't want Bradley taking shots. Ever.
Agreed not only his shooting his defense isn't all that great like some say eitherI really don't want Bradley taking shots. Ever.
It wouldn't surprise me if he gets traded in season.

Bradley looks like he has zero confidence at all on offense.
Bradley is playing himself into a permanent seat on the bench.

exactly, I predict he'll be out of the league in 2 years if he doesn't improve quick, I hope he has his passport up to date, I hear Finland is a great place to play basketball
NBA TV isn't covering this...I'm stuck with Heat vs Magic. :(
Orlando looks terrible, btw. The halftime score does not fully reflect how bad they are.

Someone who can lockdown on defense will always have a job in this league.
Let's also consider that he is 21 years old.
Ridiculous statement, to think he will be out of the league in 2 years. Absolutely ridiculous. People do realize there are two portions of the game right? Keeping points off the board is just as important as scoring, even if it isn't as glamorous.
So looks like nothing's changed and well run Ray to the ground again this year

Keith Bogans is out of a job now and he's the same type of player, only better, if Bradley doesn't develop a shot, then he'll be gone or no bettr than a 10th man-- he might bounce around for a couple of years but he won't last long. Even defensive guys like Bruce Bowen could still stick threes, Bradley has zero offensive game, how long do you give him? 5 years? 3 Years?

Keith Bogans is also 31.
It looks like Rondo has reevaluated his pass first attitude after all the trade talk.
He departed to te locker room hopefully not injuredIt looks like Rondo has reevaluated his pass first attitude after all the trade talk.
Rondo looks exactly he same. JO looks very good though. Running and jumping like he's at 100%.
Where the heck is JaJuan Johnson?
Stiemsma plays a huge chunk of the first half, Wilcox and Bass look okay at best, and JJJ can't even find the floor? Doesn't bode well for him.

With only 52 points scored halfway through 3rd qtr against the "feisty" Toronto D, safe to say C's O will be tough to watch without Pierce.

I think it's because they know they are keeping JJJ, but they want to see how Stiemsma looks to evaluate him a bit more.
Big Baby looks happy in Orlando. He's ballin tonight leading the comeback.
Anyone noticing the chemistry between E'Twaun & Avery? they compliment each other's skillset.
I feel back for JJJ. I feel like he is just having a bad couple of games. His shots look go they just don't drop.
looks like Sweetney took over BBD's locker. ;D
What the heck happened to Gary Tanguay? He looks like Sweetney.
Lol I thought ya'll were crazy when you said Sweetney was overweight. Good grief how is this man a NBA player?
ROOOOOOOOONNNNDDDDDOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's taking/making a good number of jump shots, It looks more improved(not great, but almost average!). I am jumping for joy because of this. I really hope he's like this (competent scorer) for the season.
Stiemsma looks pretty good as well.
I am very suprised by how Moore looks. A lot to be desired from JJJ. Bass is spot on, very good pick up by Ainge.
I'm very happy to be a Celtics fan right now, just bought league pass and I'm ready to enjoy this season!
Good players for cheap must be hard to come by.Lol I thought ya'll were crazy when you said Sweetney was overweight. Good grief how is this man a NBA player?
How does he even get a camp invite? Are you telling me they can't really find any other deserving young big men that are interested?

because he is talented and a smart player. before he ate himself out of the league he was scoring 8 points and getting 5 rebounds in 19 minutes. not bad.
for his own sake, he does need to lose 80 pounds or so. if he did, he would be a good nba player.
If they cut him again he might eat himself to death.

While I would hate to see the young man die, it is not on us.
I still think Sasha stinks and back up SF might be our biggest hole though. I think Moore might be better offensively than Bradley but Avery played solid D. That one for ten was bad shooting.
I liked the drive by Gilbert at the end when he tried to yoke it.
Bradley was 1-10... ::) That is just terrible

he also played phenomenal defense. which was just phenomenal.
you guys really think Bradley shouldn't get any more chances because he couldn't get his shot going in a preseason game? dude shot 45% (37% from 3) in the D-League, it's not like the guy is a consistent 10% shooter. plus, it's the preseason! you really think his role in the meaningful games will even allow him to take 10 shots?
the tools he has on defense are unbelievable, every shot his man put up was contested and the steals he had were Rondo-esque. say what you will about his offense but he has All-NBA potential on the defensive end, which is very hard to come by
I'm new to this board and the knee jerks reactions in this thread are hysterical. are the Bradley haters/Moore enthusiasts conveniently forgetting Moore's horrendous decision making down the stretch? why isn't he cut yet?!!?
