Great game for KO

[Rondo9]

Just figured that I post this, but congrats to KO for getting his first 30 point game! That's something Giannis has yet to have!

Kelly has talent.

He just needs to believe in himself.

[slamtheking]

most aggressive I've seen him on offense all season.  if he played like this all the time, we'd have ourselves a real keeper.

Wish he could find the confidence to be just as aggressive against players who aren't clearly worse than he is.

[Celtics4ever]

The effort was there even if the footspeed was not, Noel had a career night too, so our D was not great.   I though he played within himself very well tonight.

[Tr1boy]

He just loves killing the 76ers. 

I think against players around his age, he has the confidence in the world. Against better older talent, he is nervous, gives too much respect.   

His height plus skills is a nightmare for many to try to contain.  The 76ers commentators were highly impressed with KO's arsenal tonight. Malik Rose said on  a few scoring plays  "that is a 7 footer doing that ladies and gentleman"

We'd need to play the 76ers ever game.

No, he was as aggressive early season. He was against the Pistons when he was our only big defending well against their bigs.

[SHAQATTACK]

Yeah he was trying hard , with Zeller saddled with fouls,  only a couple guys stepped up to help KO.

KO was play n hard .  Even Turner was putt n effort in.

After watching Sully

I'm on the bandwagon to trade him and pick for Monroe.  Let KO play PF .

[Celtics18]

Kelly looked like a future superstar tonight.  Kudos to him.

What I was even more psyched about, though, was that tonight was the first game where I thought Kelly and Rondo looked like they were in sync together.

I've been a firm believer that those two have the potential to form a really sweet basketball savant tandem.

It's too bad that they haven't seemed to get along on the court up until now.  Hope this continues.

I'm going to temper my excitement with the fact it was the sixers and they have no conceivable way of defending anyone with Kelly's skillset

"They have no conceivable way of defending Kelly Olynyk" is a phrase we are going to be hearing a lot in the coming years.

If we want to find out what sort of potential KO has the best solution would be to give him the green light for a few games and see how he does. Let him absorb all of Bradley's shots. If it works out that's great, if he doesn't, he can go back to a supporting role.

At the very least I think we should start him for a while so Sullinger can get a rest and try to put things back together.

usually i dont buy into this argument, but with olly it does seem to be true. the "pep talk" stevens gave him seemed to make a difference. when olly plays aggressively good things happen. he is better offensively than i had thought.

good!

I very much hope so. With the exception of thornton, Kelly is the best 3 point shooter on the team, which is impressive. Also got wheels for a guy his size and can finish at the rim.

Tools are there.
