I have to admit the Jaylen Brown of this season is much improved.

Ainge overpaid for Jaylen, but Jaylen is justifying the overpay.

It was good to see Tacko get some time since all the rooks played decent minutes.

Was surprised the Knicks used a lot of their bench through out the night. At home looking for their first win I'd thought a shorter rotation would be the way to go. Worked out for the C's.

I didnt catch the game from the start

How did Poirier look in limited mins?

5 minutes 2 points. On court for two short shifts. He looked fine. He's engaged and seems in position most of the time. He missed a 15 footer. But wasn't on the court long enough to get any rhythm.

I think Grant Williams ate any possible additional minutes he might have gotten tonight.  My guess is Grant Williams is going to take a lot of the "big's" minutes this year.

You could be right if Jaylen raises his FT% to 70-75%.

That's the only thing missing from Jaylen's game right now.

The last impression all of us have of Jaylen is mostly based off last year. But Ainge/Brad see these guys throughout the fall during training camp and practices  etc. a lot more than any of us do. Maybe Ainge liked what he saw.

Kemba with 32 points on 11/17, 7/12 from 3. That's the Kemba we've been waiting for!
I'm bitter.

True.

The only thing missing from Brown's game right now is his FT shooting.

If Brown raises his FT% to around 70-75%, he's going to be an All-Star candidate.

Carsen also starting to heat up.

10 points for Carsen off the bench.

A lot more to come for Carsen.

I'm happy with the end result, but I'd like to see a little more of Kemba's driving game.

lol @ carson giving Semi the turnover to end the shotclock

That was hilarious - I was wondering who’s be charged. That should go to the team if they do it.

was that what carson was talking to BS about while dribbling it out?  Brad laughed before he actually passed it to Semi lol

Brad Stevens on Tacko:
"Every time he walks into the room, I go '[dang], he's tall' under my breathe"

He actually said some really great things about Tacko and how he is much more than just his size, but I thought this quote was hilarious
I'm bitter.
