Bold Predictions. A Faverani double double (12 points 12 rebounds) Green hits 20 points, JCraw to hit game winning 3. Cs win 92-89. Stevens cracks a 'ain't coming thru that door joke' but nobody gets it.

Thanks for the game thread. Terrific as ever.

Celtics will refine their player combinations more with this game.

I hope Stevens plays sully and olly together a lot more. I can live with the rookie mistakes if it means I see less of bass.

Gooooo celtics!!!

Bold Predictions

DeMar DeRozan and Jeff Green each have a pair of epic dunks.

Jared Sullinger goes 1-3 from deep.

Kelly Olynyk finished with more assists than rebounds.

Kris Humphries lays waste to the finest strip joints in Montreal and Toronto after posting 9 boards and shooting 100% from the line.

BONUS:  Brandon Bass shrugs off his non-entity status and doesn't miss all night.

Bold Prediction:
Double-doule for Pressy and Sully
Another 3pt from Favi
Bass will try to create his own shot, causing him to trip over himself and a TO will be called

VERY BOLD PREDICTION
Fav grabs 15+ rebounds and 3+ 3pt shots in
Title: Re: Celtics (1-4) at Raptors (3-1) Preseason Game #6 10/16
Post by: timobusa on October 16, 2013, 03:30:10 PM
BOLD PREDICTIONS

Jeff Green scores 15

KO gets a tech 9 rebounds and 8 points

Sully and Hansborough will kill each other, not literally.

Vitor Faverani will dominate Jonas Valančiūnas it will be an epic  Brazil vs Lithuania match up.

Pressey will play at least 20 minutes and have 9 assists

Marshon Brooks plays 20 minutes and have 20 points.

We win by 6 points.

Bass still in Rivers mode. As soon as the shot is released, dude is hustling back on defense.

lol. You just got to trust him. He has incredible hands. He can catch difficult passes downlow and convert.

Raptors should put out Val and Johnson out there so i can see Olynyk tested

Toronto playing a pair of undersized 6-7 power forwards as their two bigs here. Hansbrough and Acy. Opportunity for Boston to attack the rim.

Oh even better for Boston. Acy sits down. Daye comes in. Hansbrough as the sole big on the floor for Toronto. Gotta attack the paint.

This is just a silly lineup for Toronto. This is why I don't like preseason. Crappy lineups that would never see the light of day during the season. Ruining this game.

I wonder if Jeff Green ever looks at his stats after the game and says: "Man, I only grabbed 2 rebounds in 30 minutes?"

If I were a pro with his athletic ability and length, I couldn't live with that.

Just think, Doc had him playing pf.

Green.........why settle for jumpers ....  ???

Just go to the rim dude

Absolutely.  There is NO one protecting the rim with any authority on Toronto.
Cmon Jeff.  Practice like you want to play.

Greens choice of offense is so frustrating. To watch

Pressey's got a sprained left ankle.

At least Brookes hit that three.

If his role is instant offense, when the team is really struggling. I'm ok with that. But regular minutes, I hope not.

So is Babbs a 3 or 4?

I think Chris is a 2 or a 3.  He is only 6'5".

He's a bulky 6'5.

even with ISU last year, he was playing a wing position, and ISU had absolutely no size last year.  He does have some bulk, but to me he isn't tall enough to play the 4.

I like Babb's game.  I hope he makes the team.  He is a smart player and has some upside.

exactly.  he obviously has talent on offense.  he just needs to get the desire to play great d and be a complete positive all things considered.

He would seem to be a player that Stevens might be able to help.

Then we're in the exact same position, with more time on the clock, so we'd be better off??

less time, cause the raptors would have used the clock, and what if the raptors get the rebound too.

bc if the celts play tough D but raps score they will only have about 10 sec left to make up 7 points.  This way, there is a little less risk having the guy score 2 FTs.

Even if he makes it, you still have more time left to do things.

Stevens knows what he is doing. You got to trust

What I took from today's game:

Our best front court combination is Olynyk and Faverani.
Pressey needs to play more.
Bradley needs to play less. And shoot even more less.

Bold Predictions

DeMar DeRozan and Jeff Green each have a pair of epic dunks.

Jared Sullinger goes 1-3 from deep.

Kelly Olynyk finished with more assists than rebounds.

Kris Humphries lays waste to the finest strip joints in Montreal and Toronto after posting 9 boards and shooting 100% from the line.

BONUS:  Brandon Bass shrugs off his non-entity status and doesn't miss all night.

Greene had an epic dunk. DeRozan did not.

Sullinger went 0-3 from deep.

Olynyk finished with 6 rebounds and 0 assists.

Humphries didn't play.

Bass went 2-4.

One-half out of four. Way off.

I think the guys are making a bit of progress.  I really wish Brooks would show some more hustle and heart out there on D.  It would be a lot easier to cheer for him when he scores.

I love watching KO, Sully, Vitor, Babb, AB....

BOLD PREDICTIONS

Jeff Green scores 15

KO gets a tech 9 rebounds and 8 points

Sully and Hansborough will kill each other, not literally.

Vitor Faverani will dominate Jonas Valančiūnas it will be an epic  Brazil vs Lithuania match up.

Pressey will play at least 20 minutes and have 9 assists

Marshon Brooks plays 20 minutes and have 20 points.

We win by 6 points.

Jeff Green scores 13

KO didnt get the tech, he got 9 rebounds and 13 points ( i got that rebound right )

Sully and Hansborough didnt kill each other, unfortunately.

Faverani didnt dominate Jonas Valenciunas, but he scored 13 points, Jonas had 10.

Pressey played 21 minutes, 5 assists

Brooks played 19 minutes, 17 points

We lost by 2.

I was close!!!! not really

I feel the preseason is getting better and better every game. Notice how Wallace and Humphries didn't play this game, and Vitor didn't play much last game. I think this is just Stevens testing out the lineups and potential pairings.

Come season time, I think this team will surprise a lot of people.

I disagree. Green played well tonight, and is already miles ahead of where he was in preseason last year. The player who has regressed is Bradley.

In what area is he miles ahead from last season? This has me puzzled. He looks like the exact same player from all of last season except he's been missing more open jumpers.  Comparing last preseason to now, he actually played really well last preseason. It made his slow start to the year more surprising.
