Preseason Game 1 Celtics vs Sixers 10/8

[greg683x]

Im likin what I see from POB as well.  Only thing I can say negative about the guy so far is that he seemed a little late on some of his rotations on defense, but Im sure thats just because hes still learning TT's defense.  Hes looked great though, nice passes, good block, active on the boards.  Doesnt seem like he has the best hands in the world, hes juggled some easy rebounds but he may just be nervous.

Come on, it's the first pre-season game. Can Giddens get atleast 2 min of pt? Geesh

Miles did the hands on the head thingie....  2 years ago he'd have dunked those lay-ups.

Scal is on.

yep, TP i saw the juggles as well.

but, with the aside that its preseason, color me impressed with POB. I wasn't high on the signing, but he's working hard and scrapping on the boards, and he's a tough matchup to gaurd near the rim so far.

Thats about all o need out of a backup center.

He and Walker are getting the rookie treatment.  (Though he's legitimately back there in the depth chart.)

haha yeah I laughed when I saw it too.  I was wondering if he'd bring back the horns, and he breaks em out on his first basket.

i expect "team three" to hit the floor in the 3rd quarter.

so far its gone starters 1st/ potential second unit once perk's healthy 2nd.

Nice pick by Pruitt, I love the energy.

Looks like we got evil TA tonight.

good defense walker.

POB continues to impress on post defense.

Ive seen much worse of TA.  Offensive decisions aside.  Hes been playing great defense, and seems to be moving pretty well out there.

Scal looking bad again...Gabe looking smooth as ever, though

[crownsy]

scal looks atrocious.

he just missed a wide open ccut by JR, i mean, he through that pass 2 or 3 seconds late.

I think it may be time to part ways with him, because right now, and i reserve the right to change course based on future games, he's clearly the least talented player on the roster.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH



Bill Walkers already on posters!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BILL WALKER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN


(not to be overlooked, nice steal JR!)

pob with another great defensive trip, nice block....i may have to rethink my value of that signing if he carries this kind of play forward.
