WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED FROM PRESEASON GAME 1?!

[Atzar]

Fun game!  Glad to have basketball back.

[Fierce1]

Green has had 2 easy buckets at the rim just cutting to the basket

That's what Brown needs to learn to do.

There are things that some players can't learn to do.

[azzenfrost]

Williams is going to be a contributor this season.

It's nice to see that gif again

Now I want to see Gino time!

Looks like Green will be Tacko's competition for the final spot.

Emotion aside Green deserves based on tonight.

Okay saw the box score on. NBA.com.  Tps for telling me how Celtic played..

Really a game of thirds - first third of the game the Cs dominated with Kemba, Gordon and Tatum playing aggressive, driving and moving the ball. They went to the bench and we lost our way a little bit offensively in the 2nd quarter. Defensively we had issues the whole game but particularly in the 2nd quarter when Washington scored 13 for the Hornets. First half of the 3rd quarter was atrocious, we were down by 15 at one point. They came back in the 2nd half of the third with a couple of 3s by Tatum and Edwards and some post points by Kanter. When Waters, Tacko and Green entered the game middle of the 4th it really galvanized the crowd and the team responded and we took the lead and held them off. Tacko was in everything while he was there, blocks, fouls, turnovers, a dunk and a shot at the rim where he just leaned over his defender. Green was impressive, he got a few dunks cutting to the basket and also shot well from 3.

They have plenty to work on though. Defensively they have to be much, much better.

I agree.  He didn't show anything tonight and looked awful in the summer league.  He hasn't shown any improvement since his rookie year and may have even regressed.

Who was ugly? Well, I'm not a fan of Brown's new look (the hair is okay, but the combo with the beard is bad). Not a fan of Smart's hair either. Ojeleye's new look is pretty good, but his 3 point stroke isn't

I'll also give a shout out to Carsen Edwards' short shorts, they're a great look
