Lordy Hauser is scorching it

[Hal14]

Ok, let's do some math here. Our bench looked good in all 5 preseason games.

Our bench looked bad the other night vs wizards.

Our bench looks good tonight.

Our bench didn't play much in the first 2 games but when they did play, they did fine.

So let's check the math. That's a total of 8 good games and only 1 bad game for the Celtics bench.

Kind of makes all that whining and complaining on here about the celtics bench during/after the wizards game look silly, huh?

[GoGreen]

like what guys are doing but im still cold on banton.

To tell you the truth I don't have much faith in any of these dudes outside the top 6 except maybe PP.

[Fierce1]

JB will have more opportunities attacking the rim because you can't leave any Celtic player open from anywhere.

In the past, opposing teams intentionally leave Smart open.

If only he could do the Avery Bradley backdoor cut. Dude would get a free 6-8 pts a game on those.

True!

[ConstableGeneva]

Pritchard is a +25. That's with White being a +34. No wonder we're almost up 50.

One game and Hauser is in the 40's from 3

He's actually been a 42% 3-pt shooter, since college.
Just has had a bad slump.

But, I still prefer Svi in there. Svi is more well-rounded.

[Hal14]

Good take, Banton !

[31to6]

dear god even Banton did something

I predict Rick Carlisle has asked an assistant to bring him a jersey so he can get in there

Svi missed shots though. So he must be traded away.

Eh, idk about that. Hauser is a much better defender.

[Fierce1]

Well, shak, Bucks didn't recover.

As bad as Toronto is this season, the Bucks are worse!

no. they were terrible in that game. I said they were. this game doesn't make that untrue.

[Higgs Boston]

damn no walsh again, it's a bit concerning.

[ConstableGeneva]

The Celtics training staff have re-invented load management for our starters.

Talent wise I don’t disagree but he is a wild chucker

[KamikazeK]

I've started breaking out the calculator to keep track of the lead
