The 2013 Summer League games in Orlando seem so long ago. I watched all of those games thinking this kid Olynyk has got it all. but that was then and this is now and Kelly Olynyk has found that life among the trees in the NBA is a lot different than the good old Summer League games.
I hate to say this but I am seriously worried about this kid making this team the way he is playing now. all that athleticism seems to have vanished and been turned into clumsy ball handling and bad decision making. Kelly looks lost, to say the least, in the vet world of pro basketball. all those cute over and under layups he was making in Orlando don't come so easy without position and strength in the real NBA, and unfortunately, Olynyk, has mastered neither.
I would go as far as saying that Faverani has a better chance at sticking with the Celtics because of his strength but even Vitor makes bad decisions.
It just seems to me that Boston is cursed when it comes to signing a solid big guy.
As far as today's game....same old thing, that one bad quarter that haunts this team. in this game it was the fourth quarter that almost killed them if not for the great block by Bass on the final shot. also no movement on the ball and some stupid passes from Jordan Crawford whom I mentioned the other day that Brad Stevens needs to reel in before he starts costing us games.
The difference between this team being where they are now and them having won another 5 to 6 games is the ability to cut down on Dumb mistakes and most importantly knowing when to step on the other team's throat and finish the game!!!
