Does anyone now if a rerun of this game will air?

Celtics playing real players against our practice squad. How far Boston has fallen.

Celtics backups should be ashamed they barely best the Magic g leaguers.

Damn It! The G Leaguers blew it. Why end a close game with them? Are they trying to tank the Preseason?

Why are we so afraid to win??!!!!
It means nothing because the scrubs lost it but why to bring them all together?
We love to make rivals happy for god's sake

Are The Magic trying to practice Tank mode?

It's Preseason but so damn frustrating to let this one get away.

So did T-Ross say on his podcast that Cole and Bamba have gotten better? Because it's a good call so far.

Playing those guys was some cruel form of g-league hazing, right?

-If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready

-Practice makes perfect

-Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime

Pick whichever idiom you prefer

The Celtics commentary even mentioned it man. Scal asked the other dude what the Magic were going to do because he couldn't name a single player on the court. Meanwhile, Romeo, Pritchard, J Rich, and Kanter were on the court for the Celtics.

I mean, they did play 5 guys who will make their roster and possibly be in their 2nd unit. We played 5 absolute garbage scrub jabronis who will never sniff an NBA roster unless a team loses 11 players to injury.

Very encouraging effort from the guys who matter though. (Sorry scrubs, I really shouldn’t be this hard on you but I wanted a meaningless win)

Wow I'm truthfully impressed with our first game even though its preseason. Great effort against a playoff team, hopefully we'll see alot more of that!

Have a +1 for "garbage scrub jabronis", excellent!

Bamba looked so much stronger. Can't be happier with his performance

Post #236 » by **SOUL** » Tue Oct 5, 2021 2:01 am

I mean I don't care about winning or losing in the preseason at all with that unit.

We'd be more annoyed if Suggs or whoever was out there got hurt

Is a rookie coach to……. he will make mistakes along the way like our rookies but at least this loss doesn’t really count!

Losing the game is whatever, I am just glad to say that watching the game was fun. Players played offense and defense. Haven't seen that in years.
