Highlight tonight vs OKC.  2nd three was the turning point of the night.  Dig the bench reaction

In the past a big like Moses Brown or Bogan would be the difference makers for opposing teams. Now Brad has some nice big options to resort to.

They better NOT cut Kornet...Dude has some skills and awesome size too...Cut Waters if we get a buyout player.

You cant.  Waters is a two way. Like Tacko

Would need to cut Semi or Grant or Carsen

Just keep the guys we have and roll with it

Kornet is a good shot blocker, from college days

If Brad wanted to seal the paint. He could play Kornet and Timelord

That should be fun to see sometime

My thoughts exactly .

This is about the only thing we can do to try andslow down AD or Embiid .

What the Celtics have been missing for years is a white guy as doofy-looking as Bird and McHale. Welcome to Boston, Luke.

Why do Celtics fans expect Kornet and Moritz to be anything more than 3rd even 4th string centers?
They were gifted away by Knicks and Wizards while also their starting centers were out for season or half a season. If that is not a clear indication about their potential I don’t know what is

How are the Knicks involved in this?

I thought knicks had given kornet away earlier this season or last offseason. My timing might be off lol

Pretty small sample size so far but based on this game (and both games for Wagner) I can see why Danny thought these guys were worth a look.   Kornet moved well, hit a couple of 3s (anyone can hit a couple) but the thing that really caught my eye was a pass I think to Smart.  It was a great read (court vision) and perfectly timed (feel for the game).

These guys are bigger options for when we would typically see GWill or Ojeleye on the court.  I think it will help to have a different look (bigger) to put out there for certain match ups.  I don't think these new guys are necessarily any better or worse than GWill or Ojeleye but they give us something different to put out there.

The pass to Tatum showed me a lot.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Kornet played well last night, but that was against a depleted team obviously looking to tank.  That having been said, he does seem to know how to defend the PNR

No, Kornet signed with the Bulls in free agency two years ago.
