Celtics (0-0) at Knicks (0-0) Game #1 10/20/21

What happened to Brown…wasn’t he on pace for 80 points?

[jpotter33]

Love Kemba but my guy is just getting touches and playing time based on his reputation now it feels like. Dude is cooked.

Yeah, pretty clear he's lost a major step. His size is really going to hurt him now.

Randle finally caught shoving off

Yeah, he did it like 6 times. Smart just had to show the refs. Smart on Randle is our best match up on him.

Gave away a nice lead with bad offense.

I love our offense so far under Ime. We missed something like 12 straight FG attempts and we still finished with 58 points in the half. Our defense needs to be better though. I think Al and Richardson will help with that.

Just be glad the Lakers were stupid enough to let Randle go a few years ago.
Imagine him on that team.

Randle will not develop playing with LeGM. Most young guys struggle to play well with him.

You have to keep feeding the pig. 25 points on 12 shots!

Coach benched him for too long

Swallowed up by Jaylen there. He needs to be able to shoot but even shooting at the NBA level takes athleticism, which he's clearly lost.

For his sake hope his 3's start falling. He reworked his mechanics last season.

not bad. a hot streak and a cold streak. on defense pretty good given having a new system and coach and players.

best of all is they way the move the ball up court quickly and put pressure on the other team.

Ime is still experimenting with line ups it seems, but that is to be expected.

very few isos, that is nice too.

oh, and they have the lead. 

[blink]

I have to hand it to Randle.  When he was 1st drafted, I felt like his ceiling was good starter.  Maybe the 3rd or 4th best guy on a team.
He has left that in the dust.  He is so confident with the ball in his hands, and he has a great shooting touch and just great hands in general.
He is kind of a beast.  I mean we are struggling to defend him and really need to gameplan him more.  That is saying a lot for him personally for how far he has grown as a player.

Marcus is a Smart defendant

I thought it was Tatum missing shots. 3-10.

[Goldstar88]

Will JB get a new career high tonight? Needs 18 more..

Would he have been as good if not for Thibs? I dunno

He was putting up big numbers with the Lakers and then long before Thibs got him.
