Sullinger and Olynyk duo

[D.o.s.]

Sullinger will break all sorts of records for having his inside shots stuffed this season.

Is that the only thing you care about?? He was the best player of the game for the celts

He looked more mobile also which is a relief.

Sully has got to be dannys biggest steal of the draft yet

Stevens is not a x and o coach.

He allows freedom. Thats what i got from watching some of the butler games. What he hates though is taking ill advised - hand in face shots, And the ball to remain stagnant. 

If jeff green, ab, lee hit some shots we would of won the game. The defense was still good creating 25 turnovers. Lots of bs calls also that went against us

i am really excited about this tandem. I have always been a huge Sully fan and I like Olynyk

Wowzers.  Really?  WHen Rondo was in his prime he was a 4 time all-star, 2 time assist leader and 1 time All-Defense 1st team.

I don't expect Sully to ever make an allstar team.  He'll be a solid player though.  Some day he could be a good player off the bench for a contender somewhere.  He reminds me of Ryan Gomes.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.  "When Rondo was in his prime . . . " 

Good one.

P.S.

While you are doing the list, don't forget two time top ten MVP vote getter, and multiple time top ten playoff performer. 

Also, it's two time All-Defense first team and two time all D second team.

I think Sully is about 10 pounds away from being a lot better.   I think he has packed on some weight and good as he looked he will be even better if he loses few pounds.

I loved Olynyk's passing but was it just me I thought he looked afraid to shoot at times.

For me , even though its not fair to say, Rondo has never been by himself (not surrounded by future HOF) yet to prove he is one of the best/franchise calibre player.  Last year we saw a small glimpse of what "Rondos" team can do, and honestly it did avg to not so great (considering the horrible losing streak).

Sullinger imo can provide more impact on both ends of the court. He can do so many things, just think about it.
On the offensive end, he is passing, grabbing offensive rebounds, setting ridiculous picks, scoring, shooting. On the defensive end, it seems like its night and day difference when he is on and off the court. But its not even about stats, its about impact/influence.

Sullinger will likely never beat Rondo in terms of stats, triple doubles etc. Not many will.  But i predict he will be more of a impact/influence for the team

Welp, either you really like Ryan Gomes, or you are really not impressed by Sullinger.

Not to harp, but there's absolutely no way you can really believe this.

This is the best LB33 quote of all-time. A Rondo praise, at first glance a love-letter. But read it again, 'was in his prime', implying that he will never again be in his prime.

This is just choice cut grade A Celticsblog forum commenting right there. Had me giggling.

LB33's commentary doesn't always stoop / rise to the level of actual trollery, but even when it does, he spouts it with such smooth, slightly-smirking aplomb that it's actually impressive.  An art form, really.

Sometimes I wonder if he believes any of what he's posting, just because I feel like maybe it's performance art and he's really making fun of the skeptics / pessimists / realists.

Take off your rondo goggles and you may understand my points.

How many years did doc cuddle rondo?  How many years of in your ear instructions? Sullinger hasnt need any of that and forced his way into the starting lineup last year.  Sullinger rate of progression is faster at this pt.

Sully is still very young, but yes, he has physical limitations for his position.

I think his potential is at the Paul Milsap level. With just the right complementary, better players, he could be the number 3 on a championship, though more likely not better than a fourth-best on such a team. I'll be very interested to see what Stevens can do with JS and KO to develop them as a defensive unit this year, since that is their area of weakness as a pair.
