WTF, is the court too small or what? That's like 8 times.

I thought the Celtics coach was Greg Oden lol.

Best player in the draft thus far.

He already looks like an NBA scorer.

Five 3s for Kuzma...nice.

We should have drafted Semi.

Given we knew about losing Russell and Nick, there should've been a bigger emphasis on drafting shooters

Impressive game by ball

This is more like his normal production

Tatum just redeemed himself with me a little bit because he said Kobe is still his favorite player even though he was drafted by the Cs

If Kuzma plays like that during the season I'll be happy with the Russell trade.

Looks like Cs fans will be complaining all season about Tatum not getting the ball, much like how Laker fans were complaining last season about Ingram's lack of touches

Tatum looks good

An LONZO!!!!!!!!!!

Tatum is a good scorer.
He will not have a much playing time though unless the Cs trade some of those wings.
I think Lonzo will end up being a better overall player though. He makes everyone around him better.

Haven't been watching but how has Lonzo been in his first two games outside of shooting?

For shooting is he just missing or trying to adjust to better defenders?

BEazy · Post #176 » by **BEazy** » Sun Jul 9, 2017 2:45 am

I love how the GB guys, especially the guys that called Lonzo a bust after his 1st summer league game, are such experts at ball release and shooting mechanics...

Anyway, whats the update on Josh Hart? I hope it's just an ankle sprain.

Seriously... I thought for sure Semi and Jordan Bell were going to be our guys with our picks... I thought Semi has the tools to be a border line all star if given minutes.. he will probably be buried on Boston's bench wasting away..

Jaylen brown looks expendable now with Tatum there. Wouldn't surprise me if Celts traded him to free up minutes for Tatum. Jaylen should be dominating these game like Ingram did yesterday.. red flags all around that he hasn't yet.. all athleticism with marginal skills... Tatum should be their sixth man off the bench if they are smart. Celtics lucked into Tatum. They totally would have picked Josh Jackson if he didn't burn Ainge by cancelling his workout. Ainge still salty from that. Just saw an interview where he was all red faced as he spoke about it.....

Yes that was impressive.. also, alot of that was due to the "lonzo effect" ...

Lonzo with 3-point shot: Perennial All-Star

Lonzo w/o 3-point shot: Rich man's Rondo

Spens1 · Post #180 » by **Spens1** » Sun Jul 9, 2017 3:05 am

A hell of a lot better from Kuzma (he was shooting a lot but that 3 point shot was going in) and especially Lonzo (the shot wasn't great but he did a lot more as an all round player).

Their are two reasons we lost this match, Carruso and Wear. They are trash players. Get rid of Carruso and bring in someone else at P.G. (maybe Kobi Simmons or some other undrafted P.G) to test them out.

Tatum is fantastic but its abundantly clear he can't defend. Also this game is why i'm still salty we skipped on Semi Ojeleye,
