Cavaliers (0-2) at Celtics (1-1) Preseason Game #3 10/12/25

[ozgod]

Let?s see if Baylor can get more points than turnovers tonight

[ozgod]

Starting to get ragged Now thatthe scrubs are on? Can they hang on with a 29 point lead and a quarter to go?

[ozgod]

Lead down to 25 with a minute to go in the third? Baylor?s gone from a +7 to a minus one

[ozgod]

Minott and Simon?s coming in have changed the energy,lead back up to 29

[ozgod]

This kid minott gets a dunk driving in from the wing and then sinks a 3 with an and one

[ozgod]

Simon six of eight from three

[ozgod]

Other than one rushed three, Baylor has played a lot more unselfishly tonight

[radiohead]

I?m glad Minott has a team option for a second year. He can be a really useful asset off the bench. Basing on preseason play, I think he has already leapfrogged Baylor and Jordan.

[ozgod]

This guy moore has committed two live ball turnovers in the past minute, trying to attempt crazy passes. Someone needs to tell him he?s not CP3 Because CP3 Wouldn?t make passes as dumb as the ones he did

[slamtheking]

other than the turnovers, the team's offense has been pretty good tonight but it has been against a bunch of scrubs.  the defensive rebounding has been horrific and again, against scrubs.  curious how they'll look against the Toronto starters if indeed play as a full team as expected.

have to say Minott has been a revelation.  this kid is a serious steal by Brad.

[Atzar]

Wendell Moore just beheaded some poor dude at the end here, lol.

Could not watch the game. Minott was 2-5 on 3 pointers, how did his shooting look and how was he on defense? (He is my break-out binky this year. I thought he deserved more time in Minnesota.)

Hauser was 7-7 in ft! He usually doesn't shot many free throws. Is he attacking the basket?

Simons can score, but did he look all right on defense tonight?

Final question, are any of the bigs showing they will be serviceable to good this year?

tps to all who answer the above.

Minott is the only young player that looks ready to contribute. He looks good on both ends. Haven?t been impressed with anyone else.

Hugo looks like he could be good in a couple years. Walsh and Baylor are both soon to be Europe guys.

Sam was fouled on 2 occasions where he went for a layup, which were 4 of his FTs, and the other 3 was when he was fouled on a 3.

Minott had a some good moments from 3 and also attacking the basket. But Cleveland's 3rd stringer defense was pretty terrible so his shots were all open.

Simons was attacked by the Cavs on defense, but the team was able to help when he got in trouble. He's still a work in progress defensively.

As for the bigs, the trio of X, Luka and Neemi were serviceable, again considering they were going against G-leaguers for the most part. Obviously Boucher is a known quantity and he will probably be unlikely to play the 5 unless it's a smaller ball lineup. Amari is probably going to be in the G-league.

A better test will be Sunday vs Toronto when they will be playing against rotation players.
