it's against third string summer league players.  Odom was pretty bad in the 1st half.

Presseys press defense reminded me of AB. One of the keys of the game

Kind of mad I didn't even get to see KO play...guess I'm divin into the archive in a bit. 13/6/3/1 block/5 steals with only 3 fouls and 1 to...on over 50% shooting. You'll never hear me complain about a game like that.

How many minutes did he play ?  With the blowout, they took him out early in the 4th and he never came back in.

Pressey is extremely quick and athletic. That'll help on D. Especially since he doesn't tire easily. But yeah, I know the talent isn't there. But the extreme speed and passing instincts are still impressive to me. I mean...those guys are quick lol. I'd be happy to take pressey as a backup pg though...it'd be pretty cool too since I went to Mo State and saw him play several times.

21 minutes. And yeah it was halfway through the third they pulled him. That's when I dropped in. Never got to see those locks swaying in the stale gym air.

Didn't see the whole game, but didn't I see Detroit swarming him with at least double teams?

Like I said, I didn't get to see him play. But his stat line was fine. Wouldn't surprise me if they double teamed him. That's fine, opens other guys up, and he seems like a decent passer out of the post. Still shot over 50% and only had one turnover. Moral of the story...keep it up, KO.

The thing i like about KO the most is that, since he has been on the court for game 1 and game 2, we are a plus team.

It's not like he is blocking shots left and right or scoring 25 again today, but he does alot of little things the messes team up. Example on defense, anticipating and suddenly blocking the lane, so that the penetrator has to change plans, on offense, setting multiple picks to free up guys to get a chance to get the ball, or setting picks to make it easier for guys to drive in. 

The calmness about his game also looks like a positive influence on the players on the court

Five steals are more valuable than five blocks, unless you're somehow gaining possession on all the blocks.  And you're right, he does lots of useful things out there.

not really. Tony Mitchell did a pretty decent job on him. Didn't give him much breathing room in the 1st half. Than Olynyk looked like he had enough and took his game inside.

Those up and unders are definitely Mchale and Al Jefferson like.  I really wanted to see him vs Drummond today

forgot , he also got 5 steals and 3 assists.

Colton plays hard every play ...... like sully and shav

I really wouldn't mind if the C's didn't have a regular, starting caliber, center this year--but just went with Colton, Fab and Shav.  Great experience for Colton and Fab, and they've got the beef to play against the centers who would overpower Shav.  About 15 minutes each could be just about right in bringing them along.

Yes this would be known as tanking. That rotation would be abysmal.
