Raptors (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Preseason Game #1

[LarBrd33]

Teams are going to score a lot of points on the C's.

And the C's aren't going to score a lot of points. 

On paper this team is pretty atrocious even when Rondo returns.

I just wish AB could handle the ball and play the point, hes such an asset on D.

Crawford totally outplayed him on the offensive end of the game, and when they were both on the floor it was really revealing that Bradley struggled to guard DeRozan--an average size spotty shooting SG.

DeRozan's one of the larger SGs in the league...

But yes, spotty.

I think DeRozan has hurt us a lot the last few years.  I think Avery is clearly uncomfortable at PG.   I'd rather see him at SG.

I thought our guys looked tired throughout the game.  A lot of our shots fell short which is the hallmark of dead legs.

When Rondo comes back, I think this team could pull off a few surprise wins during the season but we're a mid-level lottery team as constituted.  need to move some vets for young players/picks and add a very good FA in 2015 (to add to our hopefully very talented young core -- including the stud we hope to get in the next draft) and I think the C's will be on the rise sooner than people expect.

The way I see it is that any decent team that feels like playing hard on any given night will beat this team handily.  They will steall a few wins here and there with their hustle and after the trade deadline a lot of guys on last night's roster will be playing elsewhere.

that's pretty much what I said
