I'm worried about the Bench production. We need a Better performing Bench, to Win It.
Horford was waaay off tonight.

Brissett looks pretty Legit.
I'd like to see more of these role players in there, during the Regular Season.

After 2 games, I think the Cs still need another big man.

If KP or Al is not available then Kornet gets to play a lot.

That's not good.

Tatum turtled a bit,
Brown was TO prone,
the 3-point defense has been awful,
Al couldn't shoot,
Celtics are much better when Porzingis is in there,
Joe got outcoached but what's new?

Two wins, but non dominant performances
and we should expect more from a Championship level team.


If this was last year's Celtics team, they would've lost both games. Already a big improvement for me, and this team still hasn't gelled yet.

Brissett was an MVP in his role tonight in my opinion

Let's also not forget that this is early in the season where most teams are fresh and healthy.

It's going to be a different story once the teams are around 20 games played.

Kornet is still Non-Guaranteed. He better pick it up, or he'll be replaced.

I think Kornet is fine as the 4th big.

Cs still have some money from the Grant TPE and a roster spot available.

Brad just needs to add another big.

I really don't like these guys playing over 30 mins, in the RS. It's too long of a Season.
Get those Quality Bench Players in there.

They took about six threes in a row early on without the ball getting inside the arc. This habit must be broken.

But - as people have noted, this team loses this game last year for sure.

Enjoyed Q4.
We woke up & kicked their asses.

5 in double figures.

Derrick was simply super phenomenal on BOTH ends scoring (28 points 5-7 from 3), & ALL PRO D - 3 sensational blocks!
Jrue close to trip dub & also ALL PRO D.
Zinger perked up in the second half - got beat up by Bam.
JT was up & down. 22-8-5 but did not play anywhere close to his elite level.
#7 27-8 & had some great moments going to the hoop, a few nice Js, nice rebounding (& also his usual 4 TOs).
Al w 10R.

Bam & Herro carried them.
Jimmy Buckets did **** - & was embarrassed by our Derrick!
A bunch of cockroaches.
**** them.

Negatives
They killed us from 3 - just like the Knicks. FIX THIS ****!
15 TOs - yuck. CLEAN THAT UP!
Bench very weak - will need to make a trade.

Doris did not take a **** breath the whole game & I don’t think the other woman said more than 10 words.

Crowd was pretty quiet.
So was GT.

82-0 intact.
#18.
CELTICS!
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Doris Burke just said the win doesn’t count cos Caleb Martin didn’t play.

They should keep him but use other guys off the bench to play smaller more often. So he gets lots of DNP-CDs.

DW because he was awesome but Jaylen a close second, did a lot of good things tonight.

Starting out the season with two clutch wins against two gritty, well coached defensive teams is a nice change. Last year even though we were good I never really felt safe without a huge lead.

Right, Agreed.. Kornet is good, as the 4th Big. Just, Not the 3rd Big.

Kornet's better than Thomas Bryant at least.

Svi should be playing. He can actually pass too.

He would have helped the Heat, as will whomever they trade for closer to the deadline.

Our starting unit is great. Our bench is ass. Al looks washed. PP/Hauser are not rotational players on a championship team. Brad needs to work his magic.
