What is Brad saving Payton for?

I love how Waters just called for a foul for NOT making contact with Russell, lol.  Garbage call.

CRAP CALL!!!!

Brad heard me.

What is Brad saving Payton for?

Only Brad knows but I'm sure there will be some reasons posted that make no sense.

Looks like Danny saying "there will be changes in the offseason" might have roused some of the scrubs to actually put some effort in to try to play for their jobs and stay in the NBA next season

Yes. They can't move in the standings. Brad just wanted to cool of Payton.

Finally for the ones who don't want to fall indesperation, it is still a funny match, summer league kind... Some kids showing life, PP, Nesmith and surprisingly Grant (I bet Grant could be in one or two year a usefull team guy if our team walks well; but his limitations are everywhere in a bad collectiv team like we are this year.

Whatever, confirmation Oje and Waters should be goners... Funnily now Edwards is the boy in the corner, when he was the saver against the Heat...

Celtics FG 45.1% 3PT 13 for 30
Twolves FG 38.3% 3PT 2 for 17

Benches
Celtics 36 minutes 25 points
Twolves 31 minutes 12 points

KAT has 18 points...he'd look good in Boston Celtic's green
Fournier is 62 for 80 attempts in his last 8 starts and 30 for 53 from three.

The bench looks ok which is good since it's the bench that is playin'.

For me, the most interesting thing in the first half was Romeo actually finishing at the rim twice.  That was an elite skill for him until he got to the NBA.  And we need him to rediscover it.

I checked, we're shooting 44% from 3, 13-30...no wonder everything is going swimmingly. This team has no problem defending when it shoots its 3s. It's when it doesn't that it starts to slack off on that end as well.
