Is this just a trial game for Queta or should we read that maybe he will get a chance to beat out cornet?
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Of course. Kornets' selling point is that he's tall.

Our defensive activity and connectedness is unreal for preseason.

I don’t care if it is preseason and I don’t care if it’s the Hornets. I’m enjoying this.

I see why Queta's on a Two-Way.
He Fouls too much.

He's gotta learn to slow that down.

That was a soft call on Quetta.. I hope he doesn't get THEIS treatment.

Remember Horford just got off of death row thinking he may go to the Blazers instead of Timelord. Shoot they probably could have gotten Al to sweep the gym after practice.

Queta was creating a lot of these open looks for the Celtics because he is setting great picks and then rolling with a purpose
