Queta is a better option than Kornet. He can actually move

PP's passing this game has been exceptional.  But man the Hornets suck

I am very curious if the Hornets get eliminated from the playoffs early, will Hayward be bought-out?

Theoretically someone like the Pacers have the contracts to trade for Hayward, but it’s a massive risk for an injury plagued expiring player.

Hayward off the bench for the Celtics would be great.

Sorry to be a pain, but I haven’t been able to watch the preseason games, and I’m curious what Jaylen’s handle current looks like? Is there a noticeable improvement since last season?

Still has trouble going left.

TP Thanks

That’s a worry though, given Brown’s work ethic, I hoped we’d see some significant improvement.

Every player in the league has trouble going left when they try to dribble through two defenders at once.
Makes it tough to go right as well.

Jaylen's problem is not his dribbling skill, it's his chronic bad habit of attacking multiple defenders.
He can work on ball-handling until his arms fall off and it won't eliminate those turnovers.

Wow, very true, thanks for the insight.

I think Gordon's wife would divorce him before she moved back to Boston.

Now let’s see what Gabriel has to offer. It looks like Luke is also getting the night off.

Last I heard from reports, Hayward’s family missed living in Boston.

I'd like to see Walsh get a little run.

Banton’s terrible. I don’t know why he plays as much as he has

Queta should make this team over Gabriel.
