That was intense you guys. So glad we pulled it out.

Banton and Brissett better learn Chinese. Good showing from Hauser.

Watch the tape and do only what we did in the first half the rest of the season and we are 82-0!!!

Interesting this bench unit has been going for so long - when we have so many guys on the bench who haven't played yet.

I figured we would have subbed gabriel or queta in for Kornet at like the 5 minute mark..

Looks like the rotation is more set than this board thinks it is.

Yeah - based on tonight, it seems like Kornet is much higher on the depth chart than Queta And Gabriel. For now, at least..

Never saw Hauser make that pass last year

I think you might see more of the other guys next game. This one was closer to what the actual rotation would be minus Kornet and Banton

Kornet and Banton have been getting consistent minutes all preseason.

Kornet has clearly solidified himself as the 3rd big. And Banton has played more minutes for us this preseason than anybody outside of the top 8 guys.

Now, I do think the top 8 guys will get the vast majority of the minutes for this team, during non-garbage time. So to some extent, I agree with you.

But based on what we've seen in the 4 preseason games, Kornet is the 9th man, Banton is the 10th man and Brissett is the 11th man,.

If that rotation holds true, I like it.. Also like the pecking order so far.. players 10-12 could change.. Banton and Brisset are better defenders, but I'd rather see Svi..

Never want to see Brown initiate the offense again..

KP is even better fit than advertised !!

Ditto for Jrue..

milwaukee getting absolutely spanked tonight Lillard's 2-11 and 0-5 are very scary... For bucks fans.

I believe Hauser is good at things other than just a shooting. Rebounding passing and defense is underrated. Of course shooting is his bread and butter.

He's a good cutter, too. High IQ player. Solid 8th man.

POST GAME THOUGHTS

Top Three Worst Celtics Players: 1. Banton 2. White 3. Brown

- Banton is the Homeless Person sleeping in their own vomit strung out on fentanyl ready to squeegee your car
version of Penny Hardaway...

- The Bully Boy Knicks frontcourt really gave the Celts rebounding problems, and the Cs 3-point defense was atrocious.

- Hauser was really impressive, he really skilled up and made several nice offensive and defensive plays. Very heady player,
calming influence.

- Do you get any different serial killer vibes from Mazzulla? Will he be more John Wayne Gacy this season than Jack The Ripper?

- It seemed that the Celts were better with the Two Big lineup than the too small unit. They need to find another Big out there.

- Queta seemed short and slow against the Knicks Bully Boys. Was not that impressed.

- The PP flowed in spurts, drink more water.
