TP, that was fun to watch.
I like that he passed on taking that last shot, even though he was under the basket, with the ball, and no defenders nearby.  Shows class.

[KobeShesNotConsenting!]

It's weird how i dont even know this kid but i'm real real proud of him. Not many people have been sayin alot bout harangody but he's provin he can play. Good for him

Such a quick release.

I have been impressed with Luke Harangody since I first saw him in Summer League, and have been singing his praises.  I love it that he is making my judgement look good!

Yeah I enjoyed what he did but let's be real, this was against the Raptors. I doubt he puts up anything near these numbers against LA the Heat etc but I could be wrong.

 to J804:

"Let's be real"?  I think I am being "real"!  That was his first meaningful minutes on the big stage, and he acquitted himelf very  well.  He is a Rookie!  No one expects him to repeat the performance every night.  Don't forget, he was playing against NBA pros, whether or not you happen to think they were a worthy test. The Celtics also benefited by being able to rest the starters.  I am happy for him, and I hope he can continue to improve and contribute.

Regardless of what these teams might take away from his game, they definitely can not stop his hustle and heart.

Gody is getting more comfortable IMO

Like I said I enjoyed that and was nice to see, I'm mainly talking about the posts I've seen about using him as a replacement of BBD as that's jumping the gun a bit well still need Baby in the playoffs and against the elite teams

What Davis ultimately decides to do may have a bearing on how fast Harangody is pushed.  I would like him to have another year before expectations of him get too high...but ultimately  that is the route he may be following.

Awesome to see.

Thanks for posting this, Asijs (TP). Great game by Luke. Lord knows we need these kind of games from our bench.

Kudos to Doc for trusting the rookies, too.
