Lost by 30 to the Celtics C squad. We'll put up a better fight against their A squad right? Lol

We lost by 4 pts with our C squad playing as well no?
Lemme guess, first half meant something but 2nd half means nothing right ?

1. Would like to see scottie playing well... really well, in the limited minutes out there.
2. Would like to see consistency from Dick...

Purtle has been fine... not worried about him.

These are our starters... anything we get from the rookies is a bonus...

Scottie has got to come close to earning that max salary this year .. we were hard on pascal ... Scottie does not deserve a pass ... yes, even in pre-season .. we are not paying him to be a role player.... is he a leader or not?

I know what ww will get from IQ and RJ... but Scottie? I don't know...

[TorontoBarneys]

Dick explodes for 13.

Means more when your starters play well against their starters....

Scottie sucked.. team was blown out in the first half...

Things that are foolish to do:

1) Put any stock into a pre-season basketball game
2) Put any stock into any 1 game sample size
3) Put any stock into any 1 half sample size

Doing all 3 at once? IDK what to even call that.

We are still miles behind Boston, but acting like that game meant anything is hilarious.

I have to disagree when the opponent has basically their starting lineup not playing, and we were down by more than 20 most of the time.
Their best players are Pritchard, Hauser, Walker and Kornet, which I think it should be more even with Barnes, Poeltl, Mitchell and Dick, but instead, it was 20 points less.

We could be the clippers

The 72-10 Bulls lost to the Raptors. We all know that game was not indicative of that team as a whole.

The 2019 championship Raptors lost Game 1 to Orlando. We all know how that ended.

Bad teams beat good teams all the time in 1 game samples. Bad teams are up at half-time to superior teams ALL the time.

Spoiler:

I just wanna say I feel like there should be next to no stock put into championships won in the 50s and 60s when there was 8 teams

1 championship in 2019 > 9 won when there was less than double digit teams

[HangTime]

Deep Breaths everyone.

[Mack11]

If we dont win this game im thinking of starting a fire masai thread and officially calling this season a wrap

[mtcan]

Big win tonight!!!!!!!

Ochai going to go OFFFFFFFF tonight.

[PhilBlackson]

I just hope Payton Pritchard has finally let go of the fact this board compared Flynn to him before he drops 81 on "lockdown defender" Ochai & On Night Mitchell lol

[Raptorfan2012]

Who scheduled these pre-season games? Why are we playing only the Wiz and Celtics - twice each.

Celtics plan to bring their starting line up in and we still without IQ. Probably gonna get our butts kicked again.

[Brinbe]

home crowd gonna get treated to a good one tonight lol
