Is 3J still improving every game?

Just looking at the box score, 2-2 with 4 boards while his man is 1-3 with one board.

I'm thinking they are probably giving some other guys a chance to get minutes and just giving him the day off, considering they are going to Vegas after the game.

Get a rebound people.

A little tangential to the point, but did they really have an 8am game? This must have been painful.

Dionte Christmas had better be in training camp. I loved him when he played at Temple. He might  be a great end of the bench guy, but they have to see what he can do against real NBA competition.

I'd sure pick him over Moore at this point.  Size and defense and playing within oneself count too.

More than 3x the points of anyone else, leads in steals (3 of 'em!), tied for the lead in assists and a couple of boards too.

I'm not watching but good to see Fab with some rebounding numbers.

Also JuJuan staying active there too.  Glad to see him recover in summer league.

Not bad, but we shouldn't forget he's 25 and a somewhat established international player, so quite literally, a man among boys.

Still, I'd be happy if we got him, Moore, and Joseph and third-stringers for our perimeter positions this season.

Still need a rotation SG and backup C though.

With 4 offensive boards and a handful of missed shots, I think this is just the case of not being able to tap his own rebound in a couple of times.

Also, did Joseph get injured, or did they just pull him to give other folks playing time?

I'd say great news to see Melo grab 10 boards in 22 minutes.  That's one big area for him to improve on and adjust from Syracuse and I'd say it's a good end to his first real week as a Celtic.  Will be interesting to see if he can keep it up in Las Vegas.

Not much or many minutes from Joseph, but Christmas looking good still and is that Moore taking on more of an actual PG role? 

I imagine there's still a trade coming down, which will probably be a relief for Doc, 'cause I don't know how calmly he'd take having so many rookies and second year guys.
