Cs, on defense, won't be switching a lot this season.

More straight up man, according to this report.

I like it.

March is the most obvious as it's going to be 10 months and there will be more than 20 games remaining.

The NBA was dangerously close to throwing out the rule book last playoffs when they decided that "physicality" included obvious fouls that refs just weren't gonna call

If this is the direction the commissioner's office wants, the response will be teams playing more guys, playing faster before the defense can setup to commit fouls and a lot more player injuries

Hopefully, our scouts found the right 7-16 guys on the roster because we are going to need those guys for depth this year. Between Scheierman, Minott, Walsh, Shulga, Luis a coupe of them need to overperform.

Queta's been spending time every day for at least a few years practicing threes and may eventually get to where he can hit a decent percentage. He's often up top anyway setting picks so popping out after that is simple. It's one of many areas he's been working on to diversify his offense including jumpers, floaters and hooks. I don't know if he'll look to take those shots early on. He's been reluctant up til now looking for his offense.

Here's a clip of Tillman shooting threes, but the interesting thing is at the end. Queta's working on that very thing, popping out after setting high picks.

Xavier Tillman Sr. is a man of his word.

You can also see Sam Cassell coaching up Neemias Queta on pick-and-pop 3s.

Also Boucher.

A look at Chris Boucher knocking down one three after another on the heels of Celtics practice.

Boucher told me figuring out the best spots for him to shoot from was at the root of his career year from behind the arc last season.

Boucher has a nice fluid and quick stroke.

I saw Forsberg refer to him as "TreyBoucher"(trebuchet) which couldn't be a more genius nickname if ever I saw one.
