They ought to pipe in the "best of KG" over the speakers to pep this up a bit.

I can’t wait to never watch Wanamaker again after this season. Honestly have no idea why he’s in the league. He wasn’t even good in college

That's a Good point. I haven't seen him yet.

He's showing as 'DND - Injury/Illness' on nba.com

Wow. The team has yet to say anything about him.

If every single one of these guys were left out of the roster next year I'd be totally cool with it.

Overated, meh or underated?


Danny is a terrible drafter. Watching a guy like Bazley, who has legit NBA size and athleticism, with a high motor and skill level, look better than anyone he's drafted in the past couple of seasons is depressing. Knowing Danny took Langford and Williams over him is so disheartening.

I’ll take Grant Williams over Bazley all day. That’s the last thing I’d get mad at Ainge at.

Who did you want at 14? The draft sucked after the top 10. Romeo has a high ceiling

Celtics playoff rotation is going to be Kemba, Smart, Brown, Tatum, Hayward, Theis, G Williams and Kanter. The other 9 players will be cheerleaders unless there is a blowout.

I dunno, I feel like he's been good for a minimum contract guy. We've been forced to play him more than he deserves because of injuries to a million different players, but that's not his fault.

I hate watching Kanter play so much.

This. He's 7th on the team in minutes played. There's no way that was ever intended to be the case. If he was 11th on the team in minutes, nobody would have a bad word to say about the guy.

No sense being angry at him for answering the call to the best of his limited ability.

Semi and Wannamaker might get in there. Which would suck.

Wanamaker will play a few minutes but Celtics will go mostly Kemba, Smart and Brown getting a ton of minutes at 1 and 2

Giving a pass due to it being the first scrim after a huge break in a weird setup but this has been ugly to watch lol
