A lot of Rebounds on that last Celtics possession, before the Knicks Timeout.

Celtics should really blow out the star-less Knicks.
They need to involve Porzingis more inside.

Holiday has been on the All-Defensive Team, 5 times.

Some nice moments, some irritations.
3-point shooting defense is poor once anew.
They need to use Porzingis inside against the small Knicks.

Mazzulla can trot out lineups with a maximum of one non-shooter (Stevens/Brissett/Queta) on the floor all night.

Zingis not aggressive enough. Trade him for Wemby!

I love this potential. My only concern is with all of these scorers and shooters Tatum hasn't taken a shot yet.. I Would like to see him start with the second unit and let him get going.

KP is the real deal
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

For all the talk about Porzingis' post efficiency, have we posted him up once this preseason?

Tatum is the best rebounder the team right now, so I don't think that's necessary

I'll never forget the casuals (mostly radio folk) trashing the Derek White trade.

Al Horford still looks like he can play at a high level.
