Watson dropped a couple hot potatoes to last couple minutes.

I gotta stop getting excited about 2nd round picks. This is my fault that I’m so disappointed

Brad Stevens has some tough end of the roster and two way decisions to make. Good Luck!

I think Peterson gets the 14th spot with the big club.

The 15th, you mean?
I doubt that he stays on a Two-Way this year.

JT, JB, AL, KP (ir), Jrue, White, Sam, Luke, PP, Neems, Springer, XMan, Rico, Drew.

There will be a spot to fill since KP will start the season injured correct? That could be Watson?

Then the 15th would still be open?

No. We’ll be right one day! You think I’m giving up, I had to hear and see it all and I’ve only been a fan since 2011! Keep believing, we gotta hit one eventually! :lol:

Naw. Porzingis takes up a slot.

Edit:
I don't think that he'll be Out long enough, to be Awarded a replacement?

I only saw one and I'd say it was more JD's fault..

Not much Watsin could have done with the ball there anyways with 1 second left in the half..

A kid like Watson at his age needs to be thrown into the fire to really see if he can turn into something. IMO a full season in Maine will show big stats from him, but he has the iq to learn with the big club. I think he has a chance to turn into an NBA player.

Wow. 5-on-4.
Watson Wide Open. (All Day and Taxes.)

Keep your head up, Jordan!

Unless Brad has a legit 1st round prospect at age 19 targeted in a future draft, I don't think he takes another player that young and raw again. The G-League masks so much. I saw the highlights during Maine's season, but I always thought he was a major project.

I'm not reading too much into any of the summer league. Watching one game with Springer, and two with Queta, to some extent has affirmed that we may have two bench players for next season. Add that to what we saw of Tillman in the playoffs, and we may have three contributors to a team that won a championship and only went 7-8 deep.

If Queta can help hold the fort with KP out, and Springer spell some backcourt minutes, we are in good shape. The Walsh thing is tough as there is a need for another wing to replace Brissett, but it doesn't need to be Walsh.

Last year I hoped Jaquez or Whitmore would slip to #25 for the Celtics, but as that didn't happen I'm OK in being patient with Walsh. He was a 19yo #38 pick, after all.

Davison passing to non-looking players?

That's not what a No-Look pass means.

Disappointing showing by the Cs. Very disorganized.

Sing Tillie to Davison's Two-Way.
Waive Davison.

They're being coached by a guy who has hardly coached any games. Someone came in to straighten out the D between games 1 and 2, but now they've seated three of their guys with experience on the team.

"But I felt like my focus was at the wrong thing. I feel like I should have focused more on playing how I would play if Tatum was now on the floor. I feel like I was thinking (that) I was the only guy on the floor, not in a selfish way, but as a way of like, 'I want to get my shots' and stuff like that, and I feel like I put too much on making shots."

I got a kick out of that when I read that quote from Walsh. :lol:
