Why did I have it in my head that Thompson was a long, lean, stringy type of guy? He looks to be built like a truck in these camp clips. Has he always been this way when Cs faced him a couple of years back?

Nesmith's release is too slow and a bit too low.

Looking Good.

ok, at the end where the camera was focusing on the chair instead of the players was commical.

Is it me or is a Pritchard/Fall pick and roll like cheating? feel bad for defenders on that.

Can't wait until Tacko is ready for NBA defense and can play. His rim protection would be tops in the league if he didn't give up 40 wide open 3's a game.

Best thing I saw in that video was RWill trying to seal like Theis on a Tatum drive.

And yeah, all Tacko has to do to dunk is raise his arms. My sig says it but let’s give that man a real shot!

And if all else fails sign the guy with the blue foam arms. Awesome blue foam wingspan.

Haha. Solid choices, but I’m a teacher and it’s going on the inside of my forearm, so that might not go over so well.

Man, I haven't listened to Toad the Wet Sprocket in forever. I might have to dig out my old CDs.

You should check out the shows Glen does on YouTube and Facebook. They are M, W, F. Today is at 3pm EST. They are about 30-50 minutes and it's just him in his home signing away and chatting. I actually had a Zoom meeting with him a couple of weeks ago. Super cool dude.

Thompson's size constantly gets underestimated for some reason. Folks talk about him like a smallball center.

While he is on the smaller side of traditional centers, he's still a traditional center. He's listed as an inch shorter and 5lbs lighter than Baynes, for example.

I heard the TPE had some ball handling problems in practice and will most likely end up in the G league.

Funny you see/say that since everyone else reporting his shot have been saying the exact opposite.

I was just coming down here to post about Nesmith's shot looking a little... odd, after watching those clips. There's something a little shot-put'y about it?

Are we going to get a game thread for the preseason games?

I don't know if it's just because it feels like a stressful time or I've been down but I can't **** wait to have Celtics basketball back in my life.

Just seeing it listed on ESPN as this Tuesday is intense. Can't **** wait.

Sad we won't get to see Romeo who I honestly am hoping we get a very big surprise breakout from. But so many young players to watch in this rotation. Really hoping we get lucky on a couple, it's been a long time coming since we last got a Rozier out of a nontop 10 pick from Ainge. Really hoping we get at least one.

Maybe the TimeLord learned how to actually play pick and roll and/or perimeter defense. That would be a **** gift.

Hearing CBS say Romeo is going to miss HALF of his second season is crazy. Ugh! I thought he'd be back Mid January at least.

I know we never get detail and I wouldn’t understand it if we did, but WTF is wrong with this young man’s wrist? Can we install a cyborg arm already?

sigh. i think romeo's got promise but by the time he figures out how to be useful his rookie deal will be up, and we'll probably have to move on. kinda like gerald green.

Listening to that , it doesn't look like Nesmith is getting any playing time. The guy couldn't even run up and down the court.
