I want to see how Rob Williams looks in the second half. Saw his season highlights this morning, and his game against San Antonio was so good. Too bad he's nearly always injured.

Yeah. Or even Timelord.
I guess that they are just trying to give the Starters a good amount of burn.

If it was a TNT game Chuck and Shaq would be all, "He's too small!" "Chicken dinner!" during halftime by now.

No reason in practicing how to fail. Championship teams need players off the ball doing the dirty work and hitting the open shots too.

Smart is actually a very creative playmaker especially on pick n rolls. He's the last guy I want shooting off other's dirty work. I agree that Jaylen needs the ball in his hands the least because he doesn't have any playmaking skills and has a pretty terrible handle. Just let him float around for catch and shoots, layups and backing smaller guys down on the occasional smaller guy.

Sabonis suffered a significant foot injury left the bubble to see a specialist....seems worse than the initial plantar fasciitis that was reported. Good chance we see pacers in round 1

Lucky to only be down 5 after that "defensive performance" and rusty shooting.

This sounds familiar. We're a 3rd quarter team anyway.

Let 'em have it in the locker room, Coach!

there's no one in the stands to chant for Tacko, even though it is a Celtics "home game". The league needs to pipe that in for authenticity.

Board in midseason form

Not even close.

We haven't had anyone advocating for trading Brown or Tatum yet.

I don't like the way the game looks, it either looks like overseas games or 2k but either one isn't doing it for me.

But did you check out the sound of the ball bouncing? All the microphones they put in the floor?

Not really doing nit for me either, I hope the real games feel more real.

Only 11 pages by halftime on a Friday. The board's rusty too. We're working our way back into shape here also.

Yeah. Brown & Smart = for Mitchell, is laughable.
Danny wouldn't even Dream of that Trade.

The Williams brothers, Langford and Edwatrds. That's who I'm looking forward to seeing. And a little Tacko too.

I watched some of the sixers game and couldn't figure out if they were doing this loud tapping to make noise at first, then I realized it was the ball. i had to mute it! :banghead:
