Ben is really going to have to work on his free shooting.

Simmons better learn to finish better or expand his range or he’s going to struggle to score.

Okafor has missed passing to Simmons in the post on mismatches a handful of times in these two games. It's a shame.

It's not a big deal, but Simmons always lets him know about it afterward.

Okafor's rebounding effort has been really solid through these two games.

Simmons ain't averaging 20 as he is now. Not even close.

At least Brett Brown figured out he shouldnt let Simmons dribble the air out of the ball, offense is much more balanced when he gives it up early/plays more off the ball. That's the biggest takeaway tonight.

Shooters and finishing bigs are literally all we need around Simmons.

Bayless better be used as a spot up shooter

this.. he has a TON to work on... a TON.. and if he doesnt show he can make fts he is going to get fouled at will purposefully

like I'm legit worried at how he seems to not be able to extend and contort his body to finish off drives

Simmons struggling some, but this is a fully healthy Celtics team that is supposed to be a top-2 team in the East, think it's understandable. He'll learn from it.

We're shooting 54% from 3 right now and losing. Maybe we should stop turning the ball over.

Simmons has to give up those fancy passes a bit in real NBA...

If simmons does not work on his finishing around the rim and shooting, he is going to be a negative out there just like a 6 foot 10 rondo

Kobblehead · Post #277 » by **Kobblehead** » Sat Oct 7, 2017 12:35 am

As Simmons gets more respected, some of these failed finishes at the rim will be whistled and he'll go to the line.

Lets not overreact to every preseason performance. Want to see flashes, we're seeing them.

Loving what I'm seeing from Simmons and showing great potential with his jumper.
