Jared Sullinger beats up the boards harder than his girlfriend and finishes with 8 rebounds.ohhhh snap
Babb doesn't miss I'm thinking ;)He looked like Danny Green out there the other night. LOL
Bold prediction: Lee will finally hit a 3pt.. his next 3pt shot will be on December
Presumably the nba debut of Royce White tonight. I predict he shows flashes of brilliance , outlays Sullinger, Green, and Olynyk, and the doesn't play again for the rest of the preseason.
I'd actually like to see someone like wallace, bradley or bass get the night off. For good or bad we know what each guy will bring to the game. Give those extra minutes to others who need a groove or to even get some minutes. Next game play those guys and give time off to others, lots of log jambs!
who's the color commentator? so boring. lol
First time actually being able to watch some preseason...man this is some ugly ball lol
who's the color commentator? so boring. lol
Dave Cowens.
G: A.BradleyNo. Olynyk is better. Lovin the potential of a Olynyk/Faverani front court.
G: C.Lee
F: J.Green

C: Faverani
Is Courtney Lee the 2nd best creator offensively on the floor right now? Yikes.

Really poor communication on defense, frustrating to watch.No way Courtney Leee can guard Thad Young. Why isn't Green picking him up?
I think 'someday' is too passemistic. He is just missing open shots in his range. I am convinced he will settle down. His defense and rebounding may not improve a lot, but it will improve some with experienceG: A.BradleyNo. Olynyk is better. Lovin the potential of a Olynyk/Faverani front court.

Not sure Olynyk is better. I think he can be someday but not sure he will be right away. Hasn't looked great so far. Missing a lot of shots. Off the pace quite often. He is passing the ball very well though.
we got the jumpshot sickness right now.
Take it to the rim!

I'm really hoping to see a glimmer of that scoring ability from KO. He is clearly intimidated- he's passing up a lot of shots, some good and some not so good. It's faint praise to say that he's the only guy holding back right now while everyone else is taking terrible shots, but the irony is that he he's one of the only guys I'd like to see forcing a shot or two.
I'm sad that he's blowing all of his open threes while Hawes is raining them down. KO can shoot. He's either got jitters or foot problems.

Is there a way you can transmit that telepathically to Jeff Green?
Dave Cowens is completely wrong. I want AB to be 100% aggressive at all times on defense. Make the refs adjust to the way he plays, not the other way around. Create his own brand of defense.I was thinking the same thing, and just when he said it he was involved in a turnover and fast break. Overal I am not impressed with Cowens so far.
After 2 1/2 games, this is my scouting report.Yup. In spite of that, I expect an opening day starting lineup as:
Best healthy pg-Pressey
Best sg- AB
Best player on the court for the Celtics-Sully
Most overrated- Jeff Green
As for KO- He has lost the confidence in his shot. It will come back and then he will be Dirk like.
Boston is going to be soooo bad this year.

Humphries
Jeff green is invisible out there. 3 games in a row now. I don't understand his complete lack of aggressiveness on the court. Someone light a fire under this guy with a quickness! please!
I don't trust Pressey at all. I think he is going to be a horror show on defense, turnover prone and horribly inefficient scoring wise. I don't think his positives (playmaking, floor general) will make up for all those negatives.

I don't think there's any way we're not in wiggins contention.Lol
We so bad Wiggins won' be enoughThought it was Philly at 9-73 back in the 70's
We gonna be like Cleveland after LBJ
Need several top 10 picks .
Btw....record of worst NBA season ever ???

It's better than having a shooting guard running point. Isaiah Thomas(Kings)has very similiar size and has done very well.

I don't think there's any way we're not in wiggins contention.I think Rondo's return will take Boston out of the running for a top five pick. Until he comes back though, things look like they will be very ugly.
Pressey has great court vision.
well, it looks like Sullinger has no concerns with his back, with all the attempts to take charges
well, it looks like Sullinger has no concerns with his back, with all the attempts to take chargesYes very encouraging. With his type of surgery, it was supposed to correct an existing problem, so he could actually come back better physically than he was before.
Rondo and I both see the talent on Pressey. The kid is a player that knows how to play.Great defense and effort down on the pine. Finding Wallace for 3.

Floor general = come back.
Bass enters game = come back hault.

Naw, no need to push it on a key player come back from injury.Floor general = come back.
Bass enters game = come back hault.
I was hoping Stevens would let Sully finish the game. He's gotta get in better shape anyway.
Did Sully foul out?

Fair enough. Doesn't seem like it's been bothering him so far though, which is encouraging.

It showed the difference in basketball skill between Sully and Bass. Sully, KO, and Pressey have high basketball IQs. Just like Rondo. YOu can tell how much smoother the game looks when they are are the floor together.
Bass and Lee continue to be ineffective.

If Lee's job is to spell Avery for a few minutes a game, I can live with that. As for as Bass, I don't want him on the floor.
Sully
KO
Hump
Vitor
Bass
In that order. Heck, I'd rather go small before putting Bass out on the floor.

Sully, KO and Pressey's dads are coaches, so it makes sense. I love they way Sully and KO play together, they just need to get used to NBA game speed and work on their physical abilities to be starters in the NBA.
how did royce white play?

I like this prediction stuff. I'll give it a shot.let's see here.
- C's win.
- Green scores in double-digits but everyone gets the impression he should have scored more
- C's win rebounding battle
- The rest of the team looks better to some extent than the last game with the exceptions of Bass and Lee who look like they've continued to regress.
Bold Predictions.
Phill Pressey and Jordan Crawford each notch double digit assists.
Nerlens Noel's Boston roots are brought up at least five times in the telecast, counting the pregame.
Jared Sullinger beats up the boards harder than his girlfriend and finishes with 8 rebounds.
This game is neigh unwatchable.
