I think Faverani has to and will start against Jonas Valanciunas.
I don't like that Bass vs Amir Johnson matchup. I worry about Amir's strong rebounding. I think Kris Humphries would be a better option.
I liked our chances before the Sully suspension....now not so much

BOLD PREDICTIONS
El Hombre Indestructible finishes with 10 points, going 1-1 from 3, and 6 boards in 28 minutes.
Gerald Wallace leads the Celtics in assists with 4.
Courtney Lee goes 1-3 from downtown and finishes with 3 steals.
Avery Bradley and Rudy Gay only score on long 2's and dunks/rim finishes, combining to shoot 0-7 from downtown.
I'm going with:
Bradley, Green, Wallace, Bass, Faverani
as the starting lineup.
Starting Lineup for tonight...
Bradley, Green, Wallace, Bass and Faverani as starting five
Yea!! It’s the one I like the best.
Well ....Stevens and DA won't have the big tanking weapon available tonight ....LOL ;)
Sully and Bass on the court at the same time. .....maybe the worst pairing in the NBA....
Best way now to lose is leave Pressey on the bench and play Crawford and Brooks.
Jeff Green points over/under tonight: 14...??

Vitor is found money. Imagine if we had Fabb instead of him.
Olynyk is getting bodied down low, step it up young fella
I like what i'm seeing.

Me too
Rookie of the Year Vitor FaveraniLooks very likely for All-Rookie team.
Gotta say I'm really liking the effort.
...but this team isn't very good. Still, there are some heartening signs here.
Gotta say I'm really liking the effort.Actually, the biggest issue I've seen so far is matchup recognition. Rondo should help with that.

They don't have to be good as long as they play hard.
Well win or lose ......this is fun basketballI'll take Doc ball for 55 wins a year every time. Doc ball worked just fine for Garnett Celtics.
Doc ball sucked

Why not play Pressey? Bradley is horrible at the point.
Yeah, whatever.Well win or lose ......this is fun basketballI'll take Doc ball for 55 wins a year every time. Doc ball worked just fine for Garnett Celtics.

Yea ....even worthless rivers could win with Garnet and Pierce lol ...haaa....big deal. ::)
Unfortuately I cant watch the game.
For those who can, I would like to ask...
Does Vitor Faverani looking like a keeper? Thanks.
Nice to flip back and forth btween boston and Nets and The WS tonights. Good to see Jeff Green in preseason form ::)
I would like to see Hump (6mins) get some minutes alongside Faverani in the 2nd half.
Bass (12mins) and Olynyk (11mins) doing very little to justify their playing time.

Actually, Jeff was better in this half than he was throughout the pre-season.
Just got pulled over...not sure if that's a bad omen for tonight.
But I did get off with just a warning, so... ;)
olynyk is a combination of dirk, tim duncan, allen iverson, and michael jordan.

Yeah, seems likes he's mostly watching the WS.
I hate it when they interview a player's family. Hardly ever interesting.
Anybody else rooting against the C's tonight? Lottery pick here we come!!!

I got the toronto broadcast, they interviewed morris peterson , it was unnecessary too. lol
I love the new delay of game rules. Totally speeds the game up. ::)
Mike and Max are really terrific together.
Now that was a ballsy three.
Now that was a ballsy three.My stream froze right when he shot it, so I had to sit there and contemplate a Crawford chuck from 30 feet.
Now that was a ballsy three.
"Brought to you by the letter Y as I'm 'why did he shoot that?'"
Made me laugh out loud.

Totally defeats the purpose.
They trying to speed the game up with free throws.
NBA is weird. lol
Red Sox update - Victorino with a 3 RBI triple. Sox up 3-0.2-0
I love the new delay of game rules. Totally speeds the game up. ::)
Totally defeats the purpose.

Except for the part where teams learn not to delay the game, because they do not like to give away free points...

Makes me glad that I'm a Crawford fan. I can just lie to myself and say he's mounting a silent campaign for a four-point line.
I don't normally advocate violence but can someone just break Hansborough's jaw?

Ya cause the players havent been touching the ball after a basket in 50 years...
This whole touching the ball after it goes in the hoop will be eliminated over night..... right...

If the league is serious about enforcing the rule, it will go away VERY quickly. Again, teams will not just give away points.

Tommy Heinsohn in the pre-season had the same thoughts "He’s the kind of guy you want to punch in the mouth" ;D
Why is Jeff Green still on the bench?Yeah, he was playing great. Too long on the bench.
Where are all the Jeff Green haters?
23 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and not even the 4th quarter yet. On target to finish with 30 it'd be keeps it up at this rate.
Green with the PP fade away....
Cavs beating Nets + Sixers beating Heat
Kelly O looks really bad from the small sample I saw between watching the Sox game? Is that accurate? I mean unless he is going to dominate offensive he looks like a liability on the defensive glass and defensively in general.
AB is seriously awful finishing.

4-13 tonight. :'(

these turnover and rebound problems are looking way too familar
Hey at least Jeff Green pulled his finger out and played well.
his problem is more on consistency

Crawford, by the way, established that he's a much better as a point guard than Bradley.
Again.
(on offense, obviously).

I agree.
I know it's not all pretty with Crawford but he does some thing we need. If he is in control when he gets in there he should be playing over Lee for sure and a decent amount of time.
kO was timid ......looked overwhelmed and unprepared for the physicality and speed of NBA,
I think he'll learn and do better ...
I hope is isn't gaining weight . ???
Olynyk just struggled with contact. Raptors frontcourt is really physical. Psycho T gets away with a lot and so does Jonas.
I'm confident he will figure that out pretty quick here. And once he does the boards should come.
Also probably some jitters at home playing his first game.

Agreed.
To add to that I think playing next to Sully also hides a lot of Olynyk's current deficiencies. They are surprisingly very complimentary despite their overall lack of athleticism.
Gotta say: PLAYED WITHOUT SULLY and still give the Raps a run for their money, I personally am very psyched about this roster.
Love it. I was worried we'd win tonight seeing as Toronto is almost as bad as we are. Glad to see we pulled out the loss.
K.O. has Hands like Roberto Duran.
So, Jeff Green looked solid tonight. Just needs to be consistent.We're tanking. This is what we should hope for every night... hard-fought losses vs fellow lotto squads.Love it. I was worried we'd win tonight seeing as Toronto is almost as bad as we are. Glad to see we pulled out the loss.
I... dont know what so say... Never in my life have I seen a fan so ecstatic for a loss. What in the world is happening...?

We tanked the moment we traded KG and Pierce. You're looking at a squad that has thrown the season. Embrace it. It'll be great in the long-run.So, Jeff Green looked solid tonight.

Ainge knows what he is doing here. What is the use in scrapping as hard as we can for the 8th seed, when we can just tank hard for a year and Rebuild quickly.
This looks like a once every 10 years draft. Take advantage so we don't have to suck for 20 years again...
