Neat summer league jerseys

I don't think Horf has any real excitement about moving across the country and enrolling his 5 kinds in new schools just so he can play one more year of NBA basketball. The Tatum injury changed his calculus, but I think the C's just need to give him a reason to stay, because that would be his preference.

I totally agreed with that.
He's got money, He's got a ring. And, he has 5 Kids.

Why Move???

I thought Kendall Brown looked pretty good out there. He's not an offensive creator. But he's a solid "play finisher" especially in transition. Was decent on D. Hit a 3. The way he moves, his wing size, he looks like a guy who's at least worth a 2-way contract with somebody.

And he should - he was a 5 star recruit, some had him as a lottery pick entering his freshman season and even during his freshman season. He fell to 2nd round, was on the Pacers for a bit..

And athleticism has always been his best attribute.

Yeah I suppose there's at least somewhat of a chance he resigns here on a cheap deal.

We'll see.

It would be cool to see him stay here the rest of his career and retire a Celtic.

[Dogen]

I think Hugo, Bassey (yeah, I've put him on the team already), and Max get some time too.

Lots of minutes to be had this year.

Well Bassey gives Joe a different look from Garza, Williams and maybe Queta. Tillman replacement?

How is he a different look than Queta? Bassey is Queta, but shorter, less athletic, worse passing..

At least Tillman gives us a big that can switch out on the perimeter and defend guys like Luka.

Well, I said maybe Queta. I haven't seen enough Bassey yet. He certainly doesn't look like he's better or bigger than Queta.

He's also not been healthy, like Tillman, but could be a replacement depending on what's in the plans in the next few days, weeks.

Fourth string center: Queta, Garza, Williams, then Bassey/Tillman (I know Tillman can theoretically play 4 but he hasn't been doin much at all). It sucks but that's what we got until something happens.

Just trying to be positive about the "new guy". Tillman did have those moments against Luka, but we don't know if or when he'll get back to that form.

Word is he's committed to go to GSW, the Warriors have to resolve Kuminga first which is the hold up.
Brad said at the presser that he made Al a contract offer for this year and Horford seems to have turned it down

I would Love to see him helping out the Celtics, post-playing career.

Like I said, Williams won’t even sniff Boston, 8-10 games at most

Let's see what happens.

Fouling on 3's???
By Vets.

[Dogen]

So far, seeing Williams and Shulga, I think what it would be like with Raynaud at #32 and undrafted Ryan Nembhard.

I know, too early to say...

[jirrit]

It seems like Horford would prefer to stay in Boston, but our lack of front court depth and zero chance at a title makes things difficult.

I can see why Golden State or retirement look like the best alternatives at the moment for him.

Maybe he gets a chance to play in the second half?

[Dogen]

Boiler Scheierman!

[Hal14]

See that's the benefit with Amari. He can bring the ball up the floor. When he is handling the ball 30 feet from the basket, opposing bigs can't guard him out there..

Happened quite a few teams last season at Kentucky where he'd take an opposing big off the dribble and either score or get fouled.

[Parliament10]

See that's the befneit with Amari. He can bring the ball up the floor. When he is handling the ball 30 feet from the basket, opposing bigs can't guard him out there..

Nice.
That's a plus. Reminds me of Horford bringing the ball up.

[Dogen]

See that's the befneit with Amari. He can bring the ball up the floor. When he is handling the ball 30 feet from the basket, opposing bigs can't guard him out there..

Can he fix his free throw shot though? For a guy with such passing ability, his hands are like spatulas when he shoots.

He's 23 already, but it does look like his issues can be improved with time.

[phincsfan]

Al wants a taste of the west coast lifetsyle

[cloverleaf]

Nice little Walsh to Amari.

[bucknersrevenge]

great help by Hugo there

[Parliament10]

Scheierman needs to make those 3's.
