You suck, I was too busy responding to your thread ;)
Great job, as usual FLC - you are already in mid-season form! ;D
Fifth! I’m a starter!!
Many thanks flc for the thread. A tp as usual.
Time to squish the evil hornet bugs. >:(. Celtics go 4-0 in the preseason.
Goooooooooooooooo Celtics! ;D
Pretty excited to have our full starting five for this game. We're super athletic with this lineup and should provide maximal spacing. Hope Baynes is back for the season opener. TP to FLC!
Final Preseason Game - This is the final preseason game for the Celtics and while it would be great to remain undefeated, they want to finish without any more injuries. If the starters play, it won't be for a whole game and we will still see plenty of the reserves.
No Theis tonite---thigh injury.
No Theis tonite---thigh injury.
No Baynes, now no Theis???
Let's see, that leaves Horford (probably limited time) and Yabu and Morris (only 10-12 minutes) as our only bigs!?!?
Am I forgetting anybody? Just hope that our penchant for small ball and small bigs (that just seems wrong to say) doesn't leave us high and dry like this during the season.
Yaba-Daba-Dooo! Here's your chance, kid.No Theis tonite---thigh injury.

Kyrie, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, and Al starting. You guys think Tatum will continue to start during the season, or is this due more to Morris missing most of the preseason?
When's the last time they showed the National Anthem being played in a non-playoffs game, let alone a preseason game? Seems like ESPN is fishing/hoping for some more kneeling controversy from the NBA.

have we missed a 3 yet?
have we missed a 3 yet?
No.
HOT TAKE: If we shoot 100% from 3 we will be very good.
I really like this starting unit!
have we missed a 3 yet?
No.
I like the sound of that.

It sounds like money!
Hayward hasn't gotten going in the pre-season. It will happen.
I really like this starting unit!
Please Brad, oh please, use this lineup every night. And give Marcus 25+ mpg off the bench.
I want to see Jaylen and Jayson develop at an ultra quick pace. I want to see the Green in the Finals in 2020 for years to come.
My God, our offense is going to be soooo dynamic this year, Warriors-esque.
Rookie mistake by Tatum there. He's got to realize he has trailers there.
Irving is absolutely dominating offensively this first quarter. Great shooting and passing.
morris looked gassed LOL..has not even taken a shot.

Nice to see an offense where more than one guy is the focus. Love team ball
Gotta get rid of that traveling call. It's horrible and hurting the flow of the game.
Good Lord, refs, these non-sense travel calls have to stop.
I love the traveling calls.
Players should just, you know, NOT travel.
I agree. Through 3 preseason games, I have watched KI pretty closely on D to see if how bad he really is, and I have been surprised that he is a better defender than advertised, at least so far
I love the traveling calls.It doesn't really give any advantage to the player, so it shouldn't really be a rule (not traveling in general, just that specific one)
Players should just, you know, NOT travel.
Smart is so good at defense.

I don't believe these are all travels. If you throw the ball down you can start your move.
Smart absolutely wreaking havocAs usual.
Yabu is having fouling issues tonight.Block looked pretty clean, but no replay.
Rozier continues to shine this preseason.
TERRY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
mahcus with that rondo like floaterthat play shows how he's really letting the game come to him more and more
Rozier continues to shine this preseason.
TERRY AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Better shooter than passer.
Rozier sloppy getting over that screen. Can't do that guarding Monk.
Yeah, we're not going to be able to keep both Smart and Terry.Leaning Smart, but it's a hard one now
Who has the prettier shot: Kyrie or Tatum?Kyrie. When he is on, he doesn't even hit the rim. Every shot makes that sweet sound.
We miss Baynes. He'll start for us in the "Perk" role.Yeah, Dwight is too big and strong for Al
We miss Baynes. He'll start for us in the "Perk" role.
And he's well put together!We miss Baynes. He'll start for us in the "Perk" role.
baynes is a beast and can shoot from key!
GREAT DEFENSE BY KYRIE!
Hayward is really out of sorts. This can't be how he'll play.
Hayward is really out of sorts. This can't be how he'll play.i keep hearing how he's a slow starter and he gets it going later in the season
And he's well put together!We miss Baynes. He'll start for us in the "Perk" role.
baynes is a beast and can shoot from key!
I'm liking the potential of that lineup.Brad needs to run some plays for Hayward.
Gordo having a tough night. Seems out of sync.
Good to see Morris on the floor and hitting the three.
Holy Kyrie, what a finish!!
GREAT DEFENSE BY KYRIE!
Kyrie looks better than he ever did in Cleveland. No wonder why he left!
So glad we're not on the receiving end of those unstoppable Kyrie drives anymore
Nice defensive effort from Brown tonight.10 points at the half too!

Holy Moly Kyrie.
Who is this dude?
Holy Moly Kyrie.
Who is this dude?
He looks absolutely incredible. If this is the Kyrie we are getting, we are going to be a legit contender.

He's got a great motor and is good at hustle plays. He also shoots the occasional 3.
But no, right now, that's pretty much Yabu in a nutshell. Not impressed.
Would not want to get in the ring with Yabu, that'd be terrifyingdoes yabby do anything but travel, walk , and turn the ball over ? and foul.

Before basketball, he was a boxer. I guess he'll have to be first off the bench if there's a fight...

Jaylen -- 2 blocks in a row.
Goooooood Gordy. Get yourself comfortable.happy to see him finally have a decent game
CBS has to be foaming at the mouth seeing this team. surreal possibilities. wow
Goooooood Gordy. Get yourself comfortable.
Nice defensive effort from Brown tonight.Brown belongs
kyrie is electric 8)
kyrie is electric 8)loving his all-around game on offense. beautiful
Kyrie with 9 Assists!
So, are the trade doubters feeling better yet? Kyrie is showing why he's hands down a better overall player than IT and a much more reliable option to build around going forward.but it's just preseason and al sucks lol
So, are the trade doubters feeling better yet? Kyrie is showing why he's hands down a better overall player than IT and a much more reliable option to build around going forward.He's totally engaged on D too. What a relief not having a 5'9" PG. All respect to IT.

You see, this is the modern approach to building a team — lots of 3 point threats everywhere, no true center, lots of athleticism. It is the GS formula, really.

Golden State should just forfeit to us right now and save themselves the embarrassment.

If that guy is healthy this year that Phili team could make the playoffs, he's a game changer.
as our depth gets more and more experience and build more chemistry i hope we can keep the heat on teams and just destroy them. no letting up.Good strategy for getting the starters some rest. Meanwhile LeBron will not be able to afford his annual mid-season vacation and will play record minutes this season b/c none of his teammates can defend. We got EC this year.
He's a foul drawing magnet. Last season, I believe he was at the top of the league on a per 36 basis (7.9FTA in 25.4 min).That's in only 11 minutes played.[dang]! Sixers with 76 points in the first half tonight! They are going 98-0 as well this season

16 free throws in 11 minutes? Wow...
Man Monk fell too far. The Hornets had some luck that he fell to them. The Knicks are so dumb!Phil Jackson’s parting gift to the club, a club so dumb they let the guy go AFTER he makes the pick.
Man Monk fell too far. The Hornets had some luck that he fell to them. The Knicks are so dumb!he's looked really good. black hole on offense but solid looking scorer for them
No one said that. They were tanking all 3 Hinkie seasons. Last season they were projected to win 29 games.That's in only 11 minutes played.[dang]! Sixers with 76 points in the first half tonight! They are going 98-0 as well this season

if you add development from Simmons and Saric they could be a decent team come playoff time. who knows what is going to happen with them though. everyone has been saying every year this is the year that philly makes a leap, hasn't happened yet.
nice assist from Nader the "black hole"

Philly will be bad again this season. Other than Embiid, they have serious flaws everywhere else including no-shot Simmons, change-yer-shot Fultz, buy-a-shot Reddick and import-a-shot Saric. ;DNo one said that.

Bear swats Hornets!
LARK AGAIN WITH a IT like drive!I really like having a little PG for 3rd string instead of 1st string.
Deep bench is going to screw up our flawless preseason. ;)
3rd stringers were able to hang on...nice.
I think Daniel Dixon got his first point as a Celtic lol
