Nesmith missing that dunk is the most encouraging thing I've seen all night. He showed some explosiveness that people didn't think he actually had.

Nesmith hasn't been too bad tonight.  Hit some shots, gaining confidence.  Still a long ways to go on def.
Keep in mind he's standing out at scrub time. Not to say he won't be a good player because he looks like he has talent, but he's a work in progress.

The Celtics could’ve used more that only 2 preseason games. I’m still not sure why we only got two.

Are you kiding most of the fans here do not believe preseason games matter ..the NBA must have read this site.

Oh, it wasn't an insult. Nesmith should be a very capable NBA player with his size, length, shooting, and apparently hops. His effort has been super-solid in both games so far, too.

Grant and Pritchard have been abysmal tonight. They are both projected to be in the rotation so we need them to at least be reasonably average.

And Carsen, I don't know what to say...yikes

Oh I didn't take it as an insult at all, I knew what you meant.  I like Nesmith.  Would like him more if we had a better bench to join with.

Nesmith competes hard. It doesn't always work out, but his effort is there.

I've noticed this, as well. Both him and Pritchard seem like high-energy players.

Hopefully the game will slow down a little for him so he can get into a rhythm. Might take a bit but so far, I like his energy.

Nesmith could be a nice second unit wing.  But he won’t because brad sucks
This nonsense is back by nothing but fantasies.
Your blind and a homer if u can’t see this kids talent.  While Miami heat accentuates there talent brad sits ore in the bench to rot...see rob williams
Ah yes, the extremely raw center that had issues with defensive scheme. Have another example that isn't horrible?

I know nothing about Amile Jefferson and have no confidence that he is NBA material, but I would be genuinely excited to hear that we traded Edwards and cash for a top 55 protected 2nd in order to sign Jefferson.

Nesmith's shooting can help us.  Hope he learns how to play NBA defense sooner rather than later.

Nesmith should allow the Cs to trade Romeo Langford...

Is Pritchard playing SF right now? Nesmith at PF

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

What defensive scheme is there when you have 6’8 theis  out there

Carson edwards plays like a player who would add value to your team by being a 3pt shooting spark plug off the bench, except he doesn’t make shots. Like, ever.

He looks to be the least valuable player on this roster in my eyes. He would make up for his lack of size if he made shots. He just doesn’t ...
