Hey FLC, you left Terry Rozier off our reserves — Fanny hasn’t traded him yet!Thanks for catching that! I was trying to get this up before going to bed last night and I had it almost done and somehow I ended up losing it and had to do it all over again. I'll be surprised if that's all I missed LOL. TP!
just give me first page!
Wow NYK are loaded with journeymen. Porzingis is like our Smart, lotto draft pick who is one of the longer tenured players on the team.
Lets see if practice time helps with the C's cohesion.

Yeah, three days of to regroup and adjust to present circumstances.
This is where brads worth is revealed.
Still, don't think we'll be particularly smooth, a win isn't guaranteed.
But I hope we see better cohesion on D and flow on offense.

TATTTTUUUUMMMM!
Another game of us getting superb looks and just not knocking them down yet.
Love what Brown and Tatum bring to this team now and what they will be in the future. Anything is possible with these two.
Kanter meanwhile has as many rebounds as our team, including 4 offensive rebs. Need to do a better job on that
Can we play the Knicks every game, please?
Has Kyrie passed once the last 4 times down the floor?
Not liking this lineup out there right now. I know that injuries have kind of forced our hand, but still.Still unhappy? ;)
Larkin should run the point.
Fultz fans? Anyone? **** ;D
Are Brown and Tatum our best players, right now?
i know that sounds crazy
And the Knicks for sucking eggs.Fultz fans? Anyone? **** ;D
Thank you, Danny.....AGAIN!!!!
Fultz fans? Anyone? **** ;D
More impressive - Jaylen's overall development or Tatum's NBA readiness?

Definitely Jaylen. Tatum was a polished player. We knew he'd be good relatively quickly. Obviously, this was unexpected, but not out of the realm of possibility. Jaylen looks like a totally different player.

Horford has absolutely shut down Porzingis tonight. Superb job.
Porzingus so misused
I don't want to overreact, because we're playing the Knicks, but Tatum looks incredibly poised and polished for a rookie. He plays so well within the offense, and once his confidence peaks he'll be ballin every night. Jaylen has made a huge leap and is looking like a legit offensive weapon. The two of them could be an incredible pair.

Yeah Al is the unsung hero tonight. Not giving Porz any good looks or easy buckets.

Jaylen is a hard worker. If you combine that with talent it's a winning combination.

As good as Tatum has been, I have to agree. Jaylen is so much better on both sides of the ball this year in an expanded role.
Most fun I've had watching Celtics basketball in a long time.

He really fills up the stat sheet- 12pts 3rbs, 2asst, 2stl, 2blks

that anyone could have watched Jaylen last year and told you this was coming. He looks like a different player.

He looks like a different player.Anyone who watched a game in the second half of the season should have known this was coming. The question has always been whether he can do it on a consistent basis, rather than once every three games. The jury is still out on that -- I'd hold off judgement until the rest of the league realizes that this cat is out of the bag.

With all due respect, please check my signature. It's been that way since draft night of last year. I got a LOT of flack last year during draft night for being one of the few who thought the Brown naysayers were incorrect.
I'm not saying I'm right - after all, he's not an All Star yet - but I've been pretty consistent in predicting Jaylen would blossom into a wonderful player. When you combine great coaching, a winning team, great role models, a smart player who has a great drive all at the same time it's very likely that player will succeed.
This is gonna sound weird, but maybe the most impressive play Jaylen had was that last missed shot at the rim. I say that because I have no idea how he even got there. The defense seemed to have him cut off and he just sort of side stepped the defender and with one stride was there. His footwork on drives seems much improved from last year, and we have seen a drastic reduction in turnovers driving into the paint.
That was a pretty inept first half from the Unicorn.
That is because Al Horford is doing his job.
For both Jaylen’s and Jayson’s development, it is the speed at which they seem to be maturing that is impressive. If we saw this happening with both players a year from now I think we would be satisfied.More impressive - Jaylen's overall development or Tatum's NBA readiness?

I was high on Brown too. I predicted he would be the pick and praised the decision. There is no way after watching him last season that you could have thought (from what we saw on the court) that he'd eventually be an All-Star, though. He had such a long way to go. It's honestly hard to believe what we've seen from him so far.
Seriously, Tatum's shot is a thing of beauty.
So nice to not see jelly olynyk out there

What a stud... That length he has is just incredible.
so good to see the C's finally have a good start to a game. hoping they keep focussed this second half.
loving the Brown and Tatum show.
So nice to not see jelly olynyk out thereOlynyk was a really valuable player, who helped us a lot on both ends of the floor.
To make things even better - Brooklyn is headed for a 3-1 record to start the season with a win tonight. ;D
Kanter with 17 rebounds already.
That's actually pretty impressive.
Kyrie struggling but everyone else has been looking solid. I can live with that.
Nice pass Kyrie
Horford is so frustratingly up and down

I know he's adjusting but I'm starting to think Ainge gave up WAY TOO much for him now.

I don't. Kyrie fits a system offense. Look at how the other guys are getting involved more now that IT isn't running the whole offense. Can't win like that.
Horford is so frustratingly up and down
I like what he's been able to do so far, but I'm looking forward to his contract expiration. He's a good player, but not max good, and he may not fit the window.

Yea he's not a max guy. Appreciate his effort thus far this year. But hopefully we get someone younger with just as much ability he's given

All max players definitely not equal. Had to do it though. He's a great pickup.

Porzingus tweeted with his face: I don't wanna be here ;D
C's doing tonight what they couldn't do last year -- hold a big lead. OK, Knicks look awful, but love that the lead has been sustained (at least so far).

No, that's actually great to hear!
Even vs. Knicks, last year's team would have found a way to let them back in (or any bad team for that matter)
Theis with a good game. Good hustle, great role player

Think Kyrie's playing better today. Shot selection hasn't been good (and they're not falling), but it's been better. Hopefully, it'll just get better from here.
I’msurprised cBS still has starters in the gameDon't be. Brad's game management is atrocious as usual.

I think it's more that after his teams have been burned so much blowing big leads he, for good or bad, believes that no lead is safe enough.

No, I think it is more that you have to give your starters game time minutes to build their stamina for when they really need it. You cannot have starters used to playing only three quarters. You may also want to simulate some game ending plays for practice.
Oh wow Knicks picked up Doug McBuckets? What trade was that??Carmelo Trade...
Welp time to order league pass 8)
Tps for everyone! Good win.

The weaknesses will become apparent when they play good defensive teams that get some film on them.

My guaranty of victory came true. Too easy against this terrible Knicks squad!

Well you got to see Yabu so you got pretty close on that one#FreeYabuIf he were playing better defense in practice than Semi he'd probably be in instead of Semi. Nader is next one in. Yabu is last
Nader is the biggest ball-hogging black hole ever to wear a Celtics Jersey - I'd rather see Yabusele out there any day.
Hell I think I'd rather see a 350 pound, three point chucking Jared Sullinger on one leg then Nader.
