Time to see Wallace, Green and Olynyk together in the starting lineup.I'd be okay with that or Fav as starting frontline. Tough to have final preseason game when we need to see how guys are playing together and we aren't going against starters. Interesting to watch bradley and terry go at it.
Heck, I'd have Olynyk and Fav until Sullinger learns how to stay off the three pointers and the cheeseburgers.Time to see Wallace, Green and Olynyk together in the starting lineup.I'd be okay with that or Fav as starting frontline.

You've got your wish, koz:
A. Sherrod Blakely @SherrodbCSN 43s
Bradley, Wallace, green and Olynyk will start tonight for the #Celtics. The fifth starter likely to be Faverani. #CelticsTalk
Thank goodness preseason is over!I am feeling the opposite. I wish preseason could go on forever.... Now the games will actually count!
If Faverani keeps playing like this, he is going to need a lot more than 15-20mpg.

no Sullinger tonight? Is he hurt?gorman mentioned he was sick

Don't quite know what Stevens sees in Crawford. I prefer Pressey. Better distributor, better defender, better team player.yep crawford early in preseason looked like a changed man, last 2-3 games he has regressed to his last year self which is a guy i don't even want on the team
I must be the only dinosaur left who thinks the Celtics play better with. 7 foot center , or true center to control the paint.
These Brooklyn lineups are terrible.
Non-NBA players, third stringers and one below average regular reserve. Awful.
Rondo like pass by pressey
El Hombre
A actual center..........
Who would have thunk ......
Maybe I am very optimistic but I think Fav can be a starting caliber player.

Really liking the Pressey and AB backcourt combo

Optimism is all we have so go for it. And i'm with you on it.
After this first 1/2 is there anyone who can say it is a bad idea to start fav now? I know I know, just one game but the potential is there and the size is there.
Maybe I am very optimistic but I think Fav can be a starting caliber player.
Pierce and Garnett made Nets rookie Mason Plumlee get them fresh Red Sox gear today. They're in town but not at the Garden.

AB
Green
Sully
Fav
Starting lineup. First off bench: Wallace, Bass.
Just caught a glance at Wyc in a box at the Sox game....should he be at TD Garden instead?

I'm watching KO on both ends. He is raw and slow and unsure if he should take his shot. Not ready for prime time.
Pressey,AB,Green,KO and Fav should be the starting lineup.Replace KO with Sully, no?

**** is wrong with Crawford??
I know what you are saying about an inside-out game from the bigs. However, KO is just too raw and I don't think 3 rookies in the starting lineup will happen.Pressey,AB,Green,KO and Fav should be the starting lineup.Replace KO with Sully, no?
I like KO and Fav together.

I don't mind Bass but want Jcraw gone. I rather keep babb in case we need threes pronto
Maybe a bad funny bone?
Can't wait to see Vitor in a real NBA game.All these guys really, but Vitor has a lot of euro experience so will be good to see how it translates.
Is Brooks officially not part of the rotation??
Humphries also only played 5 minutes.
These guys don't have the highest bbiq also
WHEN THE HELL IS SULLY COMING BACK?????????
Brooks to the Lakers for Meeks
WHEN THE HELL IS SULLY COMING BACK?????????
He's fine. Missed the game because of sickness.
where is Surferdad ?? I wonder what he thought of that KO basketRight here dude. I like KO, very much, but he does not have a complete game. He is a mediocre rebounder, he is slow on the defensive switches, and just needs some seasoning.

Surferdad c'mon. You dwell on the negative too much. Olynyk already has a got out of jail free card being that he is a rookie. Rookie's are suppose to make alot more mistakes and look dead lost out there.
Olynyk didn't score 20 or had 10 rebounds, but he also played a good game, had like 1 turnover and made some clutch baskets down the line. If you expect the world from him or expect him to be like KG, you are not going to get that. But he is ahead of the curve already.
I know there are tons of Bass haters, but he played well tonight, 16 points 9 rebounds 3 of them were offensive rebounds 6-10 from the field, and 1 block in 17 minutes.
Him and Faverani were the best players tonight. Heck, most of our players not named Jcraw were pretty good tonight. lol

I have never in my life understood the hate for Bass. He has limitations. Thats why he was drafted in the 2nd round. But he possesses a long wingspan, can guard multiple positions, doesn't take a play off and has decent basketball iq now. He is competitive.
There is no point of trading a guy like Bass. He has a fair contract and a good role model for the younger guys to look up to.
Dont over-interpret my criticism. Of course I give him a rookie pass. I'm just saying he is not a starter right now. Like I said, I like him very much but so far we have only seen him in pre-season against teams that are not putting their best out there.where is Surferdad ??

Bass is great for a contender but on a rebuild team his flaws will infuriate the fans.That's right. His best fit is as a big coming off the bench. I fear he will get a starting nod on this team.

agreed. But you have to also try to get over the fact , he is and likely never will be a good rebounder for his height. Its the same deal with Nowitzki (or nowitzki later in his career). But that doesn't mean he is not a complete player. Unlike some taller guys, he can move well to cause issues on the defensive end, is a better passer than some guards and has alot more tricks we haven't seen yet.
As he gets seasoned, gets stronger, faster, he will be able to bang on the inside more. But still will likely be only good for 7 rebounds a game. He will make it up in other ways though and you just got to make sure you got a good rebounder by his side. He is more like a PF/SF vs PF/C

That makes sense. He is really a point-forward, which could work in certain situations. In fact, he will create matchup problems for opposing forwards who won't be able to keep up with his ball handling or passing. As far as rebounding, I suspect he needs to get stronger which is hard to do during the season. By next year he will be better all around.Dont over-interpret my criticism.

I agree he will never be a good rebounder but his IQ, passing and mobility will make up for it and he's not bad defensively he just need to learn the rotations. What are your thoughts on Faverani?

He is a quick learner unlike Fab Melo. He is already a much better player vs pre season game 1 version.
This might sound crazy, but he kind of reminds of a poor man tim duncan. Just his overall game, potential effect he can have on both ends and ridiculous wingspan. He is smarter than i thought

I see a little bit of Marc Gasol in him too.
