I was wondering if the Celts would bother fighting back in preseason but thankfully they are more ambitious than me haha. Order restored.

Edit: Well kinda. Raps are balling tonight!

Tim Hardaway Jr's putting up similar numbers this preseason. Something like 3-21 from the field and 1-17 from 3.

Scal does a show on NBA radio and apparently talked about how the Raps are a terrible shooting team this morning. So I blame him obviously.


Darko said he played the radio broadcast during practice, so they responded well

I genuinely wonder how far Bam's offense can scale up if he turns out to be a legitimate three-point threat. It's not just the extra point but by my eye Bam's a strong ball handler and passer, and we know he's a good short mid-range shooter. Maybe the three ball unlocks his dribble penetration game ala KAT and he's able to get to the rim more in the PnR and attacking closeouts.

Raps are playing great tonight. Barnes and Dick look particularly amazing. That sentence would be very different if I replaced the "and" with an apostrophe.

We're very top heavy in an actual deep draft, we could easily very well be way short of the play in lol.

You could but there a few bad teams in the east and a few more I could see pulling the plug mid season. The battle for the bottom will be ruthless.

Trae probably puts Atlanta is playin range, the Bulls have some interesting pieces, Detroit can only get better and Charlotte has a bunch of young talent. Those 3 teams are definitely a factor.

As for pulling the plug mid season, you might have to add us into that group possibly. :lol:

Always a good day when the Celtics lose. Even better when it’s at the hands of my Raptors.
