Game Thread – Celtics @ Wizards – Thurs. 7:00PM, Oct. 24, 2024

We could really use a capable bench scorer. Wonder where we can find one? Hmmmm.

[Riverwalk2021]

Missed Hauser going off so one of these scrubs could’ve played less

God help us if we have to play Walsh even Brissett minutes. Save us, Lonnie

[Riverwalk2021]

The 3rd stringers are currently known as the "can't shoot guys".

How did we lose 12pts off our lead against the 3rd stringer Wizards

[Curmudgeon]

Meh. Routine win, badly officiated.

[Tyakack]

20 point win. That includes garbage time. Let's have fun out there boys!

Nailed it.

[brackdan70]

We’ve got to play the starters more minutes. Cant be letting teams like the Knicks and Wizards score over 100.

- As always, JD is not an NBA PG.

- Walsh says, send me back to Portland, Coach.

- Piston basket cases next.

100% agree with the JD take. After this much time in the Celtics system, he should be better than this. Even if all his time has been in the G-League. We can find a better PG that this, even for a 2-way.
Springer is the one that needs to be moved. 4+ mil and he can't shoot worth a crap. Certainly, Brad can move him for a project under 4 mil a season.

I'll give Walsh this season before I move him, or just do not pick up his rookie option this summer. He is just 20 years old now.
Same with Scheierman in my mind. Give him at least a whole season to learn the NBA game speed. Other than his shot not falling yet, his BBIQ has still seemed high.

It was Bonehead to let him go. Walker could easily have been in our Top 9-10.

[Parliament10]

Queta and PP 21 points off the bench.

Nice. Queta is a surprise scorer. They actually scored 27, together.

[VeryMuchWoke]

These guys spend all their time working to fit in as a complementary piece and they when they get to pay they're all thrown out there together. You have to give them some time.

Walsh looks promising enough for a second round pick.

Shooters need time to adjust to the NBA speed most of the time. How's Scheierman's floor game? That's what I'd be assessing now.

For the life of me I can't figure out why we'd keep JD over Lonnie, other than money.

Springer has looked pretty bad as of late, but I've seen him look pretty decent in real NBA minutes. He's overpaid for what he is though at this point.

Not at this early stage of the season.

Funny last year fans were complaining Joe was giving the starters too many minutes, now too few

It's a good problem to have in all honesty, able to rest up starters for most of the final quarter.

My post was Tom Foolery if you didn’t catch it.

Apologies, I am a bit dense/not good at reading satire

[Boston508]

Nice to see they are picking up right where they left off, and Tatum doesnt have that tape around his wrist anymore. Shot has been fixed, and falling. They are this good without Zingus, so when he comes back it's over for the league. It's so nice to be a Cs fan.. dont take this chapter in time for granted guys. This is history being made.

Lonnie wasn’t 2 way eligible

[Deivork]

Warm up game, but good win anyway. Felt Scal and Drew were a bit too cocky.

Horford's point count tends to correspond with how team-oriented the team plays. Tonight Al had 0 points. Onto the next.

[31to6]

10 page GT! It does still feel like preseason, right?
Stay healthy, get reps, get wins

[shackles10]

As a side note, really starting to warm to Drew Carter as Mike Gorman's replacement on the commentary team.

He and Scal have a great rapport together.

100% I hope this can be a long term pairing.

There's no reason why it can't be long term.

Only issue I see is the uncertainty of the RSN's in general. Someone like Carter may want to get a national gig while he can if the opportunity comes up.

Bingo, he could be another Molly McGrath.

On this note, I flipped over to the SAS/DAL game during our halftime and flipped back and was too stoned to realize I was listening to the Washington local feed for the 3rd quarter. Holy crap they were boring. We're lucky to have the personalities that we have.
