Hornets (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Preseason Game #1 10/6/19

Interesting that we're going with Semi and Wanamaker over some of the rooks. I thought Williams and Carsen would see some early play tonight and actually be in the rotation (at least Williams).

Celtics looking a little disjointed with this lineup with Hayward and walker out

[Atzar]

Fourth year and Jaylen still bites every upfake.

[blink]

Rozier with a nice move to get Jaylen in the air there....

not that I want him back.

Charlotte 1/13 from 3 but are leading by 1

[jpotter33]

Rozier chucking already lol

Not a fan of this lineup of Wanamaker, Smart, Brown, Semi, and Kanter. Not a lot of shooting or scoring out there. Definitely look much less organized without one of Hayward or Kemba out there.

I'm hyped for Williams starting because that is the best long term fit. And it helps that it was what I predicted so that's an added bonus being right 

I think him starting is an indication - probably as much to Williams as anyone else - that he's very much in Brad's plans this season.  Defending bigs projects to be such a weakness, finding out what they have with him in Year 2 makes perfect sense.

Yes exactly.  It has no implications on whether he starts during the season; just ensuring he gets PT.

I got Semi ahead of GW and Edwards ahead of Wanna myself.

It looks like it's their job to lose. I think at least one of Edwards or Williams break into the rotation early this season

Yeah - Hayward looks like a completely different player from last year. SO much more aggressive taking it to the hole out there. And he isn't going half his usual speed either.

As always, no measured responses from me in the preseason. 

Na man, we've seen a whole quarter of a post season game. I think  thats enough to declare hayward 100% back.

[Surferdad]

Grant out there now.

[ozgod]

Semi looks to be trying a little too hard, should try and settle down and let the game come to him

[ozgod]

Edwards in

[BitterJim]

Carsen with the short-shorts

[jpotter33]

Carsen!
