Green came out strong , then went on snooze mode.

I can't wait till Young comesback and shows uncle jeff how to play with intensity

Right now, i rather keep Thornton than Green

Well, I'm hoping Green is hungry enough for a new contract that he plays well enough for us to be able to trade him. We really don't need him on this team now that we have Turner and Thornton.

He is just a bigger version of the same old.   He will quietly get you 12-16 points a game and thats it.   He will prob be happy to get a 8-9 million dollar/yr 5 year deal as his last contract. But it won't be with us

[D.o.s.]

Breaking: Jonas V. is a very big dude. Fun game, though the Lou Williams dagger was pretty rough.

[D.o.s.]

Also, can anyone explain to me why Turner got tossed so quickly? Most of the people in my section didn't even realize he'd been T'd up, let alone chucked.

ECFs here we come, LOL JK

There were some guys who thought we'd make some noise and curiously they are not making noise right now.

Thornton should have took that three.   Sully shows some improvement on his shooting this year but he is still not the guy I would want to take "it".  He has had a few good shooting games and two stinkers, this was a stinker.   When your not hot, do the other things and he did board but his touch was not there tonite.

Zeller showed some skills finally.  If we were trying to win, it's pretty clear Thornton would be starting.

How do you even get tossed in a preseason game, lol?  It's the PRESEASON.  What the hell is the matter with these people?

I was at the game too and was pretty baffled he was tossed.

Arguing a call I guess, but it must of been pretty bad for the ref to go straight to a double tech. Right?

I admit I'm one of those people.  There is nothing wrong with optimism but it's been disappointing so far, even though Rondo is not back yet

I guess so -- it felt like he was complaining to the ref pretty consistently during the first half on the offensive end, though (like, after/during every drive), so maybe he just finally pushed the right button.

Also, it seemed like Sullinger and Green were taking good shots for the majority of the night, even if neither of them could really buy a basket.

I thought green played decent ..Zeller played great...he's the closest thing we have to a rim protector..

This post makes no sense. We lost a game, what do you expect? A jump for joy?

But we played a game in which we didn't have our offense going against a team that many view as among the top of the Eastern Conference, and only lost by 3.

So not really much to be discouraged about here, particularly when you consider that our starting line-up hadn't played a single minute together yet.

I Blame the Refs.

I still don't see how Bradley let Lou Williams dribble almost full court----should have been up on him for the entire play....would have been OT
