Tatum looks to def have put on some muscle or grown into his body....at least it appears that way.

It’s hard not to be happy with all 3 of our guys. I would like to see Smart play but crazy he’s mentioned by Kemba as one of the teams 3 captains ( Kemba, Mitchell, Smart ).

I am really excited for this year.

Love that JB is starting.

Why the hell is Joe Harris in over Middleton, Kuzma or Tatum though?

Brown played in garbage time which is a bad sign IMO.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't see any changes in Tatum's physique. His chest is as flat as it's ever been.

He played the sixth most minutes and started so I'd say overall thats a good sign. Guys on the bubble would be one of Smart/White, Plumlee, Barnes, Kuzma.

Pop wants Tatum to balance the scoring off the bench. Mitchell and Kemba are both starting and heavy scorers and bringing Tatum off the bench allows Pop to keep the lineups balanced.

Pop named Smart a captain? Doesn't he know that half of this board decided that Smart is a hothead who can't keep his emotions in check?

LOL... the Ls never stop for the Smarthaters.

I was wondering how they were going to deal with this situation, and it appears they just didn't. Pretty poor.

3 Captains, huh. With only 12 Final players.
Glad to see our Celtics Guys in there.

Bird, McHale, and Parish never did that for Team USA. Just saying.

I think that Derrick White is the Odd Man Out.
At this point he's just Roster insurance.

Yep. Flip on his highlights from last season. He looked very noticeably skinnier than he is now
