Hopefully he matures overseas so he can come back to the states and get another chance in the NBA. I would renounce all our two-way contracts right now for him.

Watch on YouTube

We supposedly signed Shizz Alston to the Blue Coats and Ive never been able to find an update on him. Maybe he was just a try out player or something. I liked Ponds, and Shizz. I wish Shizz could get on the roster since they signed Pelle to Philly full time.

We waived Alston at the end of October and allocated him to the G-League (where he only plays 15 mpg and has struggled). Shizz has appeal as a 6'4" shooting specialist, but he just hasn't been able to get it going.

Still wish we two-wayed Dedric Lawson over an energy big like Pelle. He's infinitely more talented and can at least play a pick and pop small ball center. Would be good for him to come up and watch a like sized Horford survive in the league.

I'm guessing he and Ponds have a lot of the same issues.

I don't even know what the risk is? Poisoning the minds of the G-League team?

It seems fultz 3 pt ball is improving( analysing by the eye test). I was looking at his shooting splits per month and he´s shooting 33% in february( i know, low sample

). It´s still early but i think he will probably shoot in the low 30% in the next years, if his condition doesnt flare up again. In his last Last 6 games:

32.4 MPG, .517 FG%, .353 3PT%, .875 FT%, .612 TS%, 2.8 RPG, 7.5 APG, 1.7 SPG, 2.0 TOPG, 13.7 PPG

Looking at his highlights you can see that he´s so crafty, very good passer and good at breaking up the defense. If he can fully recover his jumper, he will be an allstar.

Brad Stevens saw this ending before, so he blitzed Kawhi with two defenders and Walker forced the charge instead of a last second shot. Smart coaching.

Kawhi should have tried to take 5 steps to get away from the defense.

Just crazy we had the two coolest NBA players of the century between AI and Lou.

Tatum getting the switch against Shamet at the end of OT and opting for a step back from about 6 feet beyond the line was... Interesting.

Didnt settle for the jumper that time and just ate up that contact by Harrell

Kevin McHale noting his objective positive feelings towards the Celtics.

Lol at the dude in the background flexing like he did something

Damn, would have been nice for the standings

Shamet made a big shot but the Celtics also iso'd and lit him on fire.

Rough road trip for the Clippers.

The shot by lou will at the end of the first OT should have been a 4 point play. Why did the refs didn't even review it?

PTSD to Stevens abusing Redick and Belinelli for an entire series. Shamet's 1 on 1 defense is awful

They should have went for a C instead of Morris.
