Raptors (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Preseason Game #1

[Endless Paradise]

Give Pressey some PT. Crawford playing REALLY well, and being DISCIPLINED!

Crawford/Wallace may replace AB/Green if they don't start playing smarter!

Top 5
1) Wallace
2) Sullinger
3) Crawford
4) KO
5) Faverani
HM: Lee/AB

Lee over Humphries?  Humphries was really good tonight.

[ben]

I want to see Green and Wallace play TOGETHER.  I like KO, AB and sully too.

and the road to wiggins begins.

Nba three line is further away from the basket vs summer league three pt line??

somebody? For some reason i've never noticed

its the same.
it only differs in college vs nba

thanks for the clarification. Not sure if its bc of the camera angle, the line looked closer in the summer league.

I don't know why I wrote Faverani for top 5. I meant to write Humphries, but I'll say honestly... Everyone did well regardless... You can tell their still getting used to chemistry, so we'll see. I can see Brooks and Pressey getting more playing time next game.

and the road to wiggins begins. 

Yes sirrrr.  It was a perfect plan.

With that said, I like what I saw tonight

[Tr1boy]

Olynyk had a good game as a backup pg.

Not sure if its not having a pure pg on the team or he was nervous but not a great game.

Passed up the ball way too much. Would like to see him dribble to the basket and post up more also

probably just the angle, the orlando summer league was at the orlando magic practice gym, so it should be standard NBA measurements

Yeah.  Except in Pressey's case, I'd amend that to "getting playing time" since he didn't touch the court at all tonight.

not yet. If Jeff Green plays tonight the rest of the year, i'd welcome Wiggings with open arms.

[SHAQATTACK]

Think Rondo would have Been the diff

[timobusa]

Really liked what I saw tonight, Sully and KO are great players, and they can play together too.
Faverani is already better than Fab Melo would ever be. So thats a good thing.
Crash Hump and Bogans except for Brooks (BrooklynBoys) were pure grit and hustle.
AB was alright in the first half. Horrible in the 2nd.
JCraw was a big surprise, so much discipline and smart decisions.
Green and Lee was disappointing, but its just pre season I guess.

I really like this team!

[aporel#18]

Good game, liking what they are aiming for. The best player was Sully, who's still far from 100%, and almost everyone had good performance. Bass and Courtney Lee need to step up, and Green needs to be more involved in the offense. It's just preseason, by the end of the month it will be a sharper picture of what the team has.

Still think they'll lose a lot, but the future is bright with Sully and Kelly inside.

[Tr1boy]

Players that stood out tonight

Sullinger (regular season form already and glad he is back)
Crawford (decent pg capabilities)
Wallace (regular season form, his jump shot is on the reliable side now)

Disappointing performance

- Green (still on vacation?? No dunk, no 3 point fg)
- AB (horrible PG capabilities still. At this rate, no way Danny resigns him to anything worthwhile)
- Bass (without the big four, limitations really show)


Next game i'd love to see Pressey get a chance. Hoping for better things from Olynyk

[Enzzo]

Same, really impressed tonight. I'll take a preseason loss, I have a good feeling about this team.
