How many seasons of frustration was packed into that Langford dunk.

Man that tension between Abby and Scal… never understood the deal with them…

How many seasons of frustration was packed into that Langford dunk.

I was more scared that he'd hurt his wrist and need surgery again.

Haven't been able to watch.  Anybody got a quick recap for me?  Loving what I see from the box score for Pritchard and Nesmith.

Man that tension between Abby and Scal… never understood the deal with them…

I listened to a podcast where Abby asked Scal if he would trade JB for Beal and Scal whimped out by saying that decision is beyond his pay grade.  What a stupid answer.

1) Pritchard has played an amazing all-round game. Passing, not making mistakes on either end, hitting shots, controlling the pace. He's been dominant.

2) Nesmith has hit everything he's looked at. Most promising of all is that he's taking shots off the dribble, attacking over-aggressive closeouts and cutting off the ball.

3) Fernando looks to have legit NBA athleticism. Runs the rims, chases rebounds. No world beater, but hustles.

4) Edwards has done okay. He's doing non-scoring things well, 8 boards and 5 assists with only one turnover.

5) Langford wasn't great, but threw down a monster dunk. Playing his usual defence.

6) Zach Auguste is utter rubbish. Dedric Lawson is better than him.

7) Yam needs another season away from the NBA.

8 ) Hauser wasn't hitting his shots, but he got a couple of steals and rebounds well.

9) Begarinn is raw, but is a genuine NBA calibre athlete.

Tommy points to all participating summer leaguers this fine evening!

Best fast break I've seen from ANY Celtics team in years just now.

Killer performances by Pritchard and Nesmith. Great to see the guys who won't make it get some time at the end there, too. Nice W!

Thanks mate!  TP.

Nesmith with a summer league high 33pt performance.  Romeo with the best dunk of summer league too.

[Birdman]

Nesmith is going to be very good..I said this last year, just got to learn the NBA game

just finished watching the game on delay.  spot on with all these observations.

I'll add, after hearing the Yam praise after game one, I was a bit disappointed in this performance.   Was disappointed in Romeo until he made those FTs and then he seemed to have some life. 

Like what Pritchard and Nesmith did.  looking like they can be real contributors off the bench this season.

Expecting Fernando to be a stiff but he's very mobile.  he's not core rotation level but he doesn't look like someone to be tossed away in a deal for nothing.

Yam and Begarinn looked like they need to play elsewhere this year but might be end of roster caliber next season.

Scal is a jerk!

Very Happy for Newsmith to have found his shot!
