Really? This game matters less than ZERO. And we've seen everything we need to see from our players in games that don't count. Why risk it?

Still wish we were playing everyone??

Good news: We scored 60 pts in a half even without the top half of our roster.
Bad news: The other team has James Harden, who I think matched our output on his own.

Good Boston broadcast, showed all the Tacko buckets as the highlights for the first half haha.

Semi and Grant playing well. I want to see more of Romeo in the 2nd half

I don't understand how the audio levels from my Celtics feed league pass stream are so vastly different. The league pass arena volume level is very, very low. It sounds like a very noticeable remote broadcast. You can barely hear the arena music or the shoes squeaking etc. Go to the NBC Sports broadcast and the arena volume level is through the roof (which sounds way better). I figured it would be exactly the same.

I like watching most of the guys on the team, but I just don't think Edwards or Poirier belong in the NBA. I'd be good with neither of them being on the team next year. Anyway, Grant, and to an extent, Waters were impressive. Tacko did better than I thought he would. Rob did not impress. Romeo does seem like he's got a natural feel for the game. He'll be good in time.

My main takeaway is I’m genuinely confused how Poirier got signed, and more importantly why he got 2 years guaranteed. Anyone have any idea?

Gotta ask Ainge and his great scouting team.

LOL, the Rockets have already lost Gordon. So if Harden and Westbrook play 40 minutes each they will win. So what?
Love to see Grant Williams stepping up.

As for Poirier, he's been fine. What did you expect? He has outplayed Time Lord, which isn't saying much, but it's something.

Grant Williams 14 pts, 6 rebs.
Not too shabby.

My stream's been perfect so far.

Poirier actually shot pretty well from the field and 3-land, in the G-League.
He's worth a more extended look.

IMHO:
G. Williams, Semi, Waters, playing well.
Romeo, Green picking their spots, trending up in 2nd half
Tacko, R. Williams bad matchups, trying to do things that are out of their area
Wannamaker, Edwards trying to show out to much, not working, just like all season
Poirier (smh) should be in G league, not taking a roster spot un the big league.

has anyone tasted the Haribo sour gummi bears? they are delicious and I might be addicted. I don't really like gummi candy but my lil cuz let me try them and I fell in love with them.

back to ball.

ConstableGeneva · Post #955 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Wed Jul 29, 2020 1:26 am

Grant will be our backup center whenever Kanter cannot. I think both him and Semi have already earned Brad's trust.

No, and I better not try them. My will power is not great if stuff tastes good.

I had to go to a web feed instead of the Infinity TV feed, which sucked.

It's like our actual team is on strike, and these guys all crossed the picket line.

Post #959 » by **snowman** » Wed Jul 29, 2020 1:27 am

I'm trying to figure out how did Poirier got a guaranteed 2nd year and Theis didn't ?
