Can someone give a review of TimeLord?

Played great first half. Struggled defensively 2nd half. Teammates starting to play well with him. Made a couple of incredible steals.

Another good game for the (practically) rookie. Was pretty solid in the first half, grabbing rebounds, getting into position, keeping active with his hands, not leaving his man to chase blocks he can’t make. Ran into a little trouble in the second half - reaching instead of staying vertical and using his feet - gave Toronto two and-1s. He’s gotta learn, but he was a net plus.

After Game 1: "Same old problems..."

After tonight: "67 WINS HERE WE COME!"

  

67? I'm looking for 81!

TL looked like he belonged on the court. He did not look lost or out of place, and he made some key plays. Block shots, had one fancy behind the back pass to save an out of bounds play. I just love the fact that he seems to have progressed so much.

RWIII

14 minutes
3 for 3 from floor
6 rebounds
2 steals
1 block (plus another not on here
4 fouls.

He looked fine. He is starting to control his defensive reactions and avoid the fouls.. Still too many though.

Smart fed him a thunderous alley oop and Hayward too. He looked very engaged at both ends. He traveled once. There is hope.

He still had trouble committing fouls, but he deserves to be the starter.

RWill has improv :oed from last season.

It's night and day from last season. He still makes the flashy plays, but he has some real substance now, too

Scal just said on post game that Marcus was in Kemba’s ear the whole game encouraging him, telling him to keep shooting, be aggressive...making sure Kemba knew they were behind him....True leadership stuff from our teams heartbeat. Also JT was on the bench shouting “get stops” which he wasn’t doing last year. They were walking on eggshells a bit last year but not this year

Celts had Kyrie, Horford, and Morris last season.

It wasn't a good mix of young and old.

Knew GWill would get fans pretty quickly

Man, this team is likable. Last season, even if we were winning games, it was never fun. There'd be wins that we'd all acknowledge as good, but it was never really fun. Think that is something worth noting for sure.

And this is what I love about CelticsStrong...negativity only lasts as long as the last loss

Played as a team
Played for each other
Looked awful though the first two and a half quarters as Raps just hit every three they could take. When the game was on the line, they got it done.

That's really the big difference. Last year'year's team managed to suck the fun out of winning, but this team is injecting it right back (and will probably provide us with a couple fun losses, too)

You can especially see it on the faves of GH and the two Jays

[footey]

And Kyrie looks bad tonight. Bonus.

[Fierce1]

Celts will have enough pieces for an upgrade by January.

This Celts team could be 1 piece away from being an elite team.
