Banton with 31/5r/9a against the Hawks off the bench. Was my preseason binky so can’t help but at least box score watch from afar.

Maybe the Celtics system was just not a good fit for his playing style.

Not sure if we could even tell with the limited playing time he was getting lol. Blazer fans seem happy with him so good for Banton. Hope it turns into a multi year deal somewhere for him.

From a few minutes of what I saw from Banton on the Blazers, he was given more freedom.
With the Cs, he had to play within the system.

I'm not saying he's no joke, but he's 36.2% on 5.3 attempts in the same number of games essentially as he played with us so there's at least potential. I won't lose sleep over it, but he's got talent at least and might have just needed the minutes and opportunity and he wasn't going to get that here even if he shot 36% during his time with us.

Lol there have been several polls on the GB this season asking who will win the title and generally the Nuggets have won all those polls. But Denver lost a game last night so now the Celtics finally won a poll and are winning the title haha.

Apparently the Bucks' Pat Beverly needs surgery for a torn ligament in his hand that would keep him out several months.

Draymond said in his recent interview with Jrue Holiday that truly great teams have that switch, as opposed to popular opinion. They had it during the KD years. Let's see if the Celtics have it too.

Their two stars have been relatively healthy and are fighting for a playin spot.

Can you imagine everyone pushing for all NBA honours for JT and JB if it was them with the rest of their roster instead of LeBron and AD in that position?

13-0 4th Q run by the Magic before Ty Lue calls timeout. Mo Wagner with six straight points to start it off.

Banchero with B2B TOs. Tough to be a young no. 1 in this league. Other end, Kawhi and PG got to their spots and nailed their middies.

T Wolves vs Denver should make for a good game. Also like to see what Sac can do at home again vs Dallas after getting blown out.
ROAD TO REPEAT !!!!

Wolves physicality bothering the Nuggets. They look pedestrian in this 1st half. Now down 20. Let’s see if the Wolves pull a Celtic and end up losing this.
