Also I don't know who Rico is if anyone wants to help me out with that lol.

Celtics don't sign Walker, the Knicks will scoop him up in a heartbeat.


But they got Warren! 8-)

Yeah, I don't want to live in a reality where Lonnie Walker is revenge torching the Celtics in a 2025 playoff game.

I don't want to overreact to the preseason or anything but I'm predicting 82-0. I think that's a reasonable prediction to make given what we've seen.

82-0 is my prediction for the first quarter tomorrow. Just a coincidence.

Edey looks strong, especially his legs, but he appears weak in play. They are pushing him around easily imo. He’s so big, but he’s having trouble moving anybody and that’s bigs or sf. He’s struggling getting position. I will say, his presence is creating space. He is getting inside but as soon as the ball gets near him they push him out. They are having trouble getting it in to him and that’s not really his fault FWIW.


Oops wrong thread. I’m just going to leave it here though.


Well, after this comment he started cooking. He can’t move anyone but he has footwork. Excellent.

He’s going to cook with Ja (needs a PG and someone to move the D) because he started cooking when that little guy started playing, well i didn’t see him in there til that first Edey bucket. Just found the lil guy is Kawamura.

Edey is defending the small guys well enough, the shots they are making is when he has to help or they shoot over his good D. He’ll probably be top 5 D big in a couple years if he builds off of that. Kinda in the mold of Rudy G. His hook is killer!! He’s hooking over Turner like he’s not there but he can’t push Turner.

Really good at getting position before the ball gets there because he can’t back them down much. Smart to do his work early with knowing where to be. CP3 and Rondo could get 10 assist from him alone per game. He’s doing all this when they act like they can’t see or get the ball into him at times.

How has Edey been on D? That was always my issue with him. That and post-ups aren't super-efficient. Handy as a fallback though.

Lol, saw this after my post asking about his D. I still remain skeptical though! I'm not conceding defeat this early. :D

It's like he can only turn and do his jump hook.But he gets to do it every time.Because players are scared that every once in a while.His drop step leads to a dunk.. lol..

The Zach Edey - Luke Kornet matchup should be a pay-per view event..

Watching the netflix series Starting 5 right now. My respect for Mazulla just grew. Saw some clips from the xmas day game against the lakers, and Mazulla went off at Tatum for forcing shots in the 1st half. He’s no push over. Also saw a audio clip against the pacers where Joe clearly said for guys to not settle for the 3, and continue to get layups and attack the basket.

Definitely Joe's no push over.

The Celtic players buy into Joe's system.

That says a lot about Joe's leadership.

True.

I believe the potential of this team current Celtics team is 4 championships.

Or like the elusive Banner 18, Banner 21 will be the next Banner 18.
