Scrimmage game tonight

[JaylenBrown7]

Did no-one else see jaylen shake off crowder and bradley with a hard cross? He did pass out on one but the cross againt bradley he made a nice spin through two more players but left it short on the rim

Yeah, Horford, Bradley and IT were probably going half speed so you have to take their performance with a grain of salt. Rozier and Smart and Brown looked super legit though and I wouldn't be surprised if our second unit is one of the best in the league this year. If JB can improve finishing around the rim, he'll be a terror scorer.

Why would they go half speed?

I did not see this posted anywhere here, so I will.

I hope this is all true.

TP for the find and the ridiculously good news!
His shot looked sweet in the scrimmage and definitely looked different, this confirms my suspicious.

Just watched the hawks scrimmage very very sloppy compared to ours. Dwight didnt play great but got better at the end was horrid at the free throw line but hit a nice faceup jumper off the glass from about 16.

Maybe I'm not using the right term. What I was going for was that the effort those guys put in this game wasn't the same type of effort they were putting in a regular season game whereas the bench (particularly our defensive troika of smart, roze and brown) were locked in. No metrics to qualify it. Just an eye test. I just don't think Horford will be this invisible once the regular season comes around.

did he play better than Horford? 

kidding, but how was the Schroder/Howard game going, and what about their spacing? cuz with Horford gone now, i have to imagine that Budenholzer had to restructure the offense a little bit to make up for Howard's inabilty to shoot

If Smart fixes his shot and can defend the 4 that would be something.

Mickey = awful

[Eddie20]

Mickey = awful

Yeah, he's non-existent. An above average athlete with below average size and below average skills. I'm surprised he's not in the roster cut discussion along with Hunter and Young.

Dump Mickey and Hunter .....give me Nader

I think Smart defending the 4 has gone a little to far and I'll blame it on Danny. In a pinch against small ball 4's sure, but can he defend Horford? No.

You're only doing it in a pinch anyway, it's not like he's guarding the 4 with Amir & Horford out there.

Those who watched it the game, can you give me you A-F grades on how everyone looked? 

Seems a lot of people are raving about Rozier.  That's exciting.

Is there an A++ grade scale ? Because that's what Rozier deserves. Defending, Rebounding, Scoring....

All star in the making if you ask me. Keep the development going. He's going to be better than Turner.
