Brad with huge compliments to Semi's defense. Says he could be one of the best defenders on the team from day one.

Liking semi but man, Jordan Bell is putting on a blocking clinic for GS right now

Jaylen Brown said the bruised thigh isn't anything serious, although he said likely be shut down for rest of summer league.

That would suck.

Read on Twitter

It would be nice to see him play more, but it's not the worst thing in the world. No need to take risks and it gives other guys a chance to show themselves, like we saw today with Bird.

Jackson and Allen don't make it.

That's True.
Jabari Bird stepped up.
Žižić and Ojeleye did pretty good, too.

That's the guy I wanted for the Celtics in the 2nd round. He would've fit this team very well.

I hope Semi pans out.

Žižić
Every other letter has a pronounce thing above it
Wouldn't it be easier to just spell the name the way it sounds?
And don't get me started on silent letters

I had to tivo most the game. It's my birthday, out doing stuff. I'll watch the game in full in the morning. Zizic seems to be adjusting.

He looks like a nice energy guy off the bench at best. Similar to what's Faried now. Way over 22 years old but has 0 skills on offense. And he's just like Mickey - way too jumpy trying to get blocks. Mickey was also a beast at blocking shots in college (averaged over 3 BLK during both seasons, 3.6 BLK!!! during 2nd season) and came into the NBA younger than Bell. You know how it turned out.

Besides several teams graded Bell as a medical red-flag.

Zizic had a big game. Looked good and learning quick. Good to see.

Good news

I thought the Celtics were outplayed by a team with inferior talent.

Best games yet for Bird and Zizic. Zizic will be a solid contributor at some point. He owned the boards.

Brown looked great but got kneed in the thigh and didn't play again.

Ojeleye looked good.

Tatum had his worst game and still looks fantastic.

Semi has to make this team.

Missed the game, was drinking a bit at a poetry reading in the park. Stats say DJ had a good game, but I never thought he had a place on the roster. Thoughts? How did Jaylen look before the injury?

CollegeToPros · Post #518 » by **CollegeToPros** » Wed Jul 12, 2017 2:01 am

Zizic had his best game so far. Looks to be better adjusted and his conditioning looks better.

Bird might sneak a two way contract if he plays like that again.

Green89 · Post #519 » by **Green89** » Wed Jul 12, 2017 2:14 am

Zizic looked a lot better. He just needs to make sure he runs back harder on defense. He seems to run the same slow speed back and forth, whether he's on offense or defense. Can't do that.

If Tatum starts scoring like this in real games this season, he will instantly become my favorite Celtic. :nod:
