He didn't even warm up.


Do you want the number in word form?? :D

38?
Horford seems like he could have played. He's in sweats.

By-the-way, I don't even see Porzingis on the Bench; anyone else?


I’m sure they realize they need every ounce of energy out of Al for the reg season and playoffs. Especially since they’ll be relying on him without KP.

NBA whoring themselves for Abu Dhabi money, but lots of empty seats in the arena....

This is the best game the Celtics have played against Denver in 2.5 years...

You would love Dario Saric if he was on the Celtics...

True.

I wanted Dario, but Cs got Tillman and Kornet back.

Rough when you go 11 deep in the preseason without your 24yo 1st-round pick being among them.

Only thing is, Walsh will never see the floor here.
I say, switch him back and forth? Bring him up for insurance, and when he might get a chance to play.


Not that he necessarily picked up bad habits in Maine, but imo being with the big club everyday and practicing will be more beneficial for his maturity even if he gets garbage minutes. I think Joe will play him. It’ll be Brad and Joe’s first legitimate draft pick that they can show off. Two years in Maine and now the big club.

Tatum went from Smooth to Super Chunk, whereas Brown was completely opposite...

Who's this doing the NBC Sports in studio?

Didn't take long before our guys got into a rhythm offensively. This without our two best bigs. I like how they're using KQX on offense.
