Another 30 for 30 for the future best Celtic of all time.


The Season just started but I nominate this post for Best Post so far! :nod:

Anyone giving up on Walsh because he went 0-2 should be drug tested..next man up..let's go!!

I thought Walsh played well given the situation. Wanna see more sample with him playing alongside the regulars/starters.

I used to criticize Pritchard too whenever he played with all non-regular rotation guys. Easier to look bad when everyone on the floor is deep bench fellas.


I think it is extremely difficult for any player, especially a young one, to look good in that situation. One reason why I like to see what a "deep bench" player can do with the starting rotation if/when someone is out. But BB is just like Life, it isn't always fair. Just got to Go out there and do/try your best. Sometimes you get Roses, other times thorns. :dontknow:

Not that I've watched the Pistons yet this year but looks like Cade is playing quite well to start the season.
Gonna miss KP but he's no Georges Niang.

Pistons should have extra motivation after JB's builletin board material diss similar to JT's "disrespect" of the Hornets, who did beat us in our first meeting last season.

I don't think they're going to take the Pistons all that seriously.

EDIT: Hauser's missed only 5 games combined the previous two seasons. Already missing two of first three games this season. Hope this back issue doesn't linger.


It looked like he hurt it when he went for that block on McBride and fouled him on that 3pt shot. Crappy injury. Hopefully it doesn't linger also. His 20+mpg alleviates some of the stars minutes.

If you're going with your significant other can you confirm that they actually have urinals in the women's bathrooms? :crazy:

Yousers!

Two games in and the C's top 10 range from +50 (DWhite) to -12 (SammyB) on/off per 100.

The scrubbinis, from -86 (JD) to -106 (Drew) per 100.

I think we are now so good that Not all that serious = 20+...a litttle more serious = 30+ and motivated = a 50 burger.. so... Boston by 20 it is :o :-?

I am curious to see how Denver's BIG Ball lineup works out.

Jokic-MPJ-Baun-A Gordon-Murray. Or a center, 3 PF types and a Combo guard..

We can have a nail biter against a worthy team. Also known as not the Pistons.
