Interesting test for R Williams next game.

Gotta run Embiid out of the gym.

Off season for Nesmith will be huge. He has not adjusted to the NBA 3 point line yet. He will.

6 rebounds in 10 minutes is pretty sweet.

He plays scrappy and is jumping all over the place. Once he slows down and gets comfortable with his shot, a bench of fournier, langford, and neismith would be excellent.

More Luke and less Grant.

looking forward to seeing what a healthier Celtics roster can do against Philly on Tuesday.  not sure if we'll have TT back for that but if we have Romeo healthy and Fournier with a decent shooting night, I think we'll do well

That will be a measuring stick!

I still don't miss Rozier.

He is a ball hog

Nesmith is just a hurricane!!!!

he is clogging the lanes with 1 min left in a 30 point blow out.
awesome

Frankly I think Jaylen and Jayson could learn that from him.  Of our wings, I think Nesmith is the only one who will consistently get his hands dirty on interior defense.  Jayson frequently avoids the contact, and Jaylen is often too late on the rotation to make a play.

Feel like the team is starting to buy in to what Brad has been preaching all season. Finally!!!

Adding Fournier has been huge. Huge.

Keep running the offense through Rob Williams. He has become the hub of our offense. Like Al Horford.

Knocking wood! Maybe because I’m a middle aged guy whose had plenty of orthopedic issues, I’m pulling hard for Romeo.

The Cs are finally starting to look promising. Lets hope this continues when we face better teams.

Tue against Philly will be the first big test of our "new" team.

It is a new team.  Bench is transformed with Rob starting and the additions of Fournier, Kornet/Wagner.  Add Romeo and replace Teague minutes with PP and C’s rotation is very different.

Unfortunately their ability to compete with Philly, Milwaukee and the Nets remains to be seen.  I think doubtful they are suddenly in the mix.  Would love to see them show something v. Philly.

I have a feeling TT will be back for the philly game. It would be nice to see 2 quality bigs going against Embiid.

Well both JT and JB hustled more when they were 1st and 2nd year players.  Not sure what it is, but maybe they are saving themselves for the playoffs? who knows.  give it your all every moment you are out there. 

But the focus changes once you are the hunted instead of the hunter I guess.  Both JB/JT have players coming after them every game now.

Jaylen/Jayson/Timelord have a chance to be a legit big 3 IMO. Homegrown too.
