Jabari Bird looked good against the Sixers, scoring 14 points along with 8 rebounds and 2 assists.  He was the star of the game against the Nuggets with 24 points 3 rebounds and 1 assist.  He brought down the house with a monster dunk to show off his athleticism.   
Semi Ojeleye set the pace for the Celtics on both ends of the court against the Sixers.  He finished with 16 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.  He had just 3 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists against the Nuggets.  The Celtics need him to be a leader on both ends of the court. 
Guerschon Yabusele finished with 16 points and added 7 rebounds and 2 assists vs Philly.  When the game was on the line in the 4th quarter, he came up big and hit a layup and a 3 to assure the Celtics the victory.  Against the Nuggets he had just 7 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists.  Like Bird, he excited the crowd with a big dunk.  Now is the time for Yabusele to prove he deserves a roster spot this season.

Willy Hernangomez, the 35th pick in the 2015 draft,  has played very well for the Hornets.  He had 16 points and 14 rebounds in the Hornets' win over OKC on Friday and followed that up with 22 points and 10 rebounds in their win over the Heat. 
Dwayne Bacon was the 40th pick in the 2017 draft.  He started with 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals vs the Thunder and then had 22 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals vs the Heat. 
Miles Bridges was the 12th pick in this year's draft and so far has had 6 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists  and 14 points 5 rebounds and 1 assist. 

The Celtics take on the Charlotte Hornets in their 3rd game in the Vegas Summer League.  They are 1-1 so far, beating the Philadelphia 76ers and then losing to the Denver Nuggets.   The Hornets come into this game undefeated after beating the OKC Thunder 88-87 on Friday and then beating the Miami Heat 94-90 on Sunday. 

The Celtics had a day off on Sunday to regroup after their rather uninspiring 82-69 late night drubbing by the Denver Nuggets.   After Monday's game, the Celtics will once again be off on Tuesday while the other teams finish up their slate of 3 opening games.  They will play at least 2 more games as the SL playoffs begin on Wednesday.

As of now, there hasn't been an update on Robert Williams III's availability for this game.  He left the first game against the 76ers after bumping knees with someone and then missed the Celtics second contest against the Nuggets.  He is listed as day to day.  For the Hornets, Malik Monk, the 11th pick in last year's draft, fractured his right thumb after scoring 23 points against the Thunder and will be out for the rest of Summer League.

Finally. Years and Years of trying. A Summer league clash with Charlotte will have to do for my first frist

TP to FL Celts, for keeping the old game threads strong during the dark days.

My wish: Jabari to go for 30.

Catching a red eye flight back from SF tonight, haven’t gotten to watch any SL yet.

I’m also hoping RW is back. But I’ll take some Celtics basketball, even SL, either way.

Pretty much, but here's to hoping that Yabu/Semi hits 3's at a higher rate.  If they are losing at halftime, I'll shut it off.

I’m not going to fret about the injury.  It’s summer league.  Tatum got held out the final couple of games of summer league last year due to patellar tendonitis, and then played 3100 minutes in the regular and postseason.  I’m not expecting Williams to do that, but the Celtics are hypercautious with injury during Summer league, and rightfully so.  It is more likely than not that there is not much to this injury.

Reportedly it's precautionary. Ingram and Ball sat out large chunks of SL for the Lakers last year as well. Really this is a Scrub Showcase more than anything..

Meh, I don't think we have a read on any of this yet. I mean the media seems to have it out for him, but other than that sitting out SL is not really unusual for actual roster guys.

"Optics" is for politicians.

Frankly the team is deciding to keep him out and that's probably the right call..

In related news, according to Marc Spears, Jaylen is in Vegas for the networking events he’s been coordinating for young players the last couple of years, and MIGHT play in a couple of games, because he’s “not too good for summer league.”

I'm actually kind of ticked that Robert Williams has sat these past couple of games. I get Saturday because it was the day after but he should have been ready by tonight's game. He had all Sunday to ice the knee and the fans want to see the kid the play. You're really telling me they can't put him in for a couple of minutes and run a set play where he rolls to the hoop and throws down a dunk? Honestly just one dunk and he could sit down and people would be happy.

summer league always has a herd and a half of turn overs. i suppose it is combination of marginal players, no real playing time together, and unfamiliarity with offensive sets.

Yeah, I know that Carlesimo has always been extremely grating, but this other guy has done summer league games for the past few years, at least, iirc, and he's just pathetic, imo. Dude can't even pronounce Uthoff correctly, and he's called games in which Jarrod has played in the past. Like, bruh, it's "you - toff", not "yude - off" ::).

Release Nader
Release Allen

Semi was 1-4 on threes. He’s currently shooting 26.6% from 3, that’s a bad sign as the most important thing for him was improving his 3 point shooting. He’s not going to get any run shooting like that.

Maybe tough to keep Bird. Cs can match any offer, but they're going to have a tough time matching him and Smart without cutting salary other than Nader. Still think they should sign both, cut Nader, and trade Morris into someone's cap space.
 
Uthoff didn't look very good the first 2 games.

Jaylen sitting next to Danny. Danny looks stoned..

Anyone would look that way watching the "bricks" being thrown up in summer league games.   ;) ;D

While I understand Danny would want to see the players first hand in Las Vegas, if media reports are accurate that he hasn't reached out to Smart other than extend a QO because he (Ainge) is otherwise occupied (rather than a quite clever rationalization offered by another CBlog member that he was giving Smart "space" to attend to his ailing mother who has cancer), this isn't good way to treat a "valued player" who has done so much for the C's especially one as beloved by the rest of his teammates as Smart is in the locker room. 

Anyway, business as usual for Jabari Bird who had another nice performance and Semi as well as Yab had their moments.

Maybe tough to keep Bird. Cs can match any offer, but they're going to have a tough time matching him and Smart without cutting salary other than Nader.

Bird is way better than Nader and I think he may be better than Yabusele.   On offense he is better than Semi, too.

I saw on instagram that Shane larkin and jaylen brown were hanging out at Summer league .... Wonder if Shane was sitting near Ainge or not, and if it means anything. Probably not I hea rd that fans can sit really close to GMs basically in summer league, so maybe larkins networking. I  know rozier was in the arena  too

Wasn't that already refuted by the Celtics? They said they were in contact all along.

Better than Semi on offense? That's not saying much, Semi is the worst offensive player on the Celtics.
