Nets (1-0) at Celtics (0-1) Preseason Game #2 12/18/20

[Phantom255x]

For all the criticism about Houston's system over the past 4+ years, are we really that different??

Chucking 3s, iso-ball, continuing to chuck away even when it's not falling.

I mean the difference is Morey actually tried to build a roster around Harden that fits that scheme. The C's though don't have enough shooting and don't have the roster to do that scheme. But they just continue reverting to iso-ball for stretches and just shooting a ton of 3s a night. Huh?? 

And to be clear, people will say I'm overreacting to this preseason game, but this has been the case for 3+ years now. And we've lost key playoff games and playoff series as a result too.

I mean really, 6/42 from behind the arc? That's embarrassing.

We suck

[blink]

well at least that is over.
burn the tape on this one...man.

at least we are back to 0-0!
bring on the regular season.

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 ...

Waters is even more valuable

Edwards needs a new scenery

He will keep the bench warm. Then be included in a trade package

[slamtheking]

if we can sign Ilyasova for the vet min and cut Edward to make room, I'd do it in a heartbeat

You’re nit overreacting.  Coaching has been an issue

"Coach, I'm not going to be able to be at the film session for the nets game...my dog has to go to the vet."

[Tr1boy]

if we can sign Ilyasova for the vet min and cut Edward to make room, I'd do it in a heartbeat

Would that put Celts in the luxury tax?

[Ogaju]

..and their shooting woes continue !!! Did Marv copyright that phrase?

8-for-45 from 3PT

Maybe we're preparing for the arrival of the Beard...

[slamtheking]

Perk on post game saying this is a 'good loss'.  Not even Tommy could put that kind of spin on this crapfest

What trade value does Edwards have exactly? He's making just above the veteran minimum so his contract doesn't even have any value. You cut him and eat the contract.

No.  We’ve got plenty of room under the tax.
