Celtics (1-0) at Raptors (1-1) Preseaon Game #2 10/10/25

I know it was garbage time but that was embarrassing. I?ve never seen worse basketball. Schierman should be ashamed of himself.

Glad I won't see several of those dudes wear green anymore after this next week.  Also glad this one doesn't count, lol.

Actually, the two-way and exhibit 10 players were not so bad. It was Baylor and Queta who really disappointed.

[slamtheking]

that was a brutal meltdown. 

Boucher and Minott were terrific.  Garza and Simons had their moments but Garza has to do a better job rebounding and Simons needs to play better D.  everyone besides PP needs to make some serious improvements.

Nah they all sucked IMO.  They had no clue what to do against a press or a trap and they guarded nothing at the other end.  Took all of them to blow that game.

But Scheierman and Queta at least get some benefit of the doubt in the fact that they've actually impacted real NBA games before.  Scheierman, in particular, self-destructed in a role he'll likely never be asked to play.  The others exhausted goodwill they didn't have in the first place.

I think they are hoping that Scheirman can play that role this season. He played it in Las Vegas and he's played it during the first two pre season games. So far the experiment is a failure.

Yeah, if they legitimately hope that he can be something like a backup PG for them then I share your concern about depth at that position.  White, Brown, Pritchard, Simons is a very good guard unit.  If any of them miss time, there is absolutely nothing playable behind them.  Not even a decent G league project like Davison.  Just an empty void.

Personally I view Scheierman more as a depth piece behind Hauser and Minott than I do the guard rotation, but I do concede that's not really consistent with what he's trying to do in the preseason so far.

The good:

Minot was impressive, on both ends. Simons didn?t look as bad defensively as I thought he would. He?s a pure scorer. Like a poor man?s Damian Lillard. Queta looked pretty good. It was nice having a paint presence. Pritchard looked like Pritchard and Boucher had a solid game.

The Bad:

Toronto played zero starters and won. Scheierman was 2-9 from the field, had 5 TO?s and fouled out. He?s not an NBA player.

Luka Garza is not very good. He gets bullied underneath on both ends. Hugo needs to spend the season in Maine. He?s very raw.

And reality sets in.

Hauser started at SG last game. I think he?s better suited to play the 2 than the 4. This is how I see the rotation:

PG: White, Pritchard, Simons
SG: Brown, Simons, Hauser
SF: Hauser, Brown, Minott
PF: Boucher, Tillman, Minott
C: Queta, Garza, Tillman
