Wow our 2nd unit is taking over the Spurs
Amateurs worry about equipment, professionals worry about money, masters worry about light… I just take pictures…

San Antonio is so good at finding 3 and D guys.

All I remember of Mills from last year was his towel waving. Now he's added some muscle and turned into a heat check guy.

It would be nice if Sully could put in some of these offensive rebound bunnies he has gotten.

Nick, is Kelly O starting to grow on you?
I guess you will just never understand my problem with Olynyk.

Simply put, I hate weak, finesse, offensively minded big men that can't play defense, and that's exactly what Olynyk is. If he makes it past his rookie contract, its going to be because someone wants a stretch four off the bench that can score against bad second team defensive big men.

He is showing skills on one side of the ball but is completely awful on the other.

Do you know how many people used that same description on Dirk? What I see is a highly skilled offensive player, that has only played 65 total games (NCAA/NBA) since 2011 because of the redshirt, and continues to improve in all aspects of the game as his confidence grows.

KO on his way for another double double.

Nick, what do you think?

I hope Bill Russell lives to 125.

You guys see what you want, I will see what I want. I don't like a certain type of player and Olynyk is exactly that type of player. You're not going to change that in me, I'm too old and set in my ways to love those types of players.

Wallace actually still has game.  I think with a defined role, he could average close to what he did in his prime.  If we trade Jeff Green, I kind of expect Wallace to get a big boost

Me too

I always said when I left the Celtics, I could not go to heaven, because that would
 be a step down. I am pure 100 percent Celtic. I think if you slashed my wrists, my

He can't shoot.

Dirk had/has the transcendent shooting touch of an elite guard. There has never been a 7 footer who could shoot and score the way he did/does. Dirk in his younger days was also very athletic.

I like olynyk. But the dirk comparisons are unfair to him.

Do you think Stevens starts that pathetic starting lineup in the 2nd half?
