Celtics (1-0) vs Jazz (0-1) Utah SL Game 2 7/5/16

[Beat LA]

Am I in the minority that I just don't like Marcus Thornton's game?

Idk if it's a minority, lol, but I don't like him either.  Dude's a ball hog, and the same goes for Rozier, imo.  It's like they don't know that there are 4 other players out there, lol.  I'd hate to play with guys like that.  Rozier just ran a pick and roll with Bentil, which the Jazz switched, leaving Marcus Paige on Bentil, who promptly got great low post position, only for Rozier to just jack up a brick from the foul line . Does he not know that Bentil can score inside?  PASS THE DENG BALL.  Ugh.  Get Jackson in there.

Is RJ Hunter injured or something? Why is he not playing tonight?

Not much, I think it's between $20-25K per season, but their housing is also paid for.

Not a great way to make a living.

Where is Jackson?

Sore wrist.

It looks like $20-25k, but they pay for your housing, too.  Still much less than overseas, though

[max215]

Where is Jackson?

Hasn't played due to Coach's Decision.

[Beat LA]

James Young is a trainwreck on defense.

Fixed .

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the coaching staff is giving Rozier free reign to run the show however he likes. It is important that he continues to push the limits of his game as he is likely going to receive regular minutes this year.

Besides, he has like 4 or 5 assists this half and a number of other passes that have led to quality shots. He is clearly the best player on Boston's side.

I get what you are saying, but Rozier has been the best player by far out there tonight. He will make mistakes, but overall he looks ready to be a bench ball handler for us.

That's definately one issue Rozier has is as a distributor. He's good at running an offense but he missed jaylen on a three on one game 1 and pulled up and missed the shot.   He doesn't seem to find players cutting to the basket very well.  He'll run the offense and drive and kick though.

He reminds me of Hersey Hawkins a  bit.  He's more a scoring pg combo guard.

Season is not that long so housing isn't worth a whole lot. How about meal money, per diem, perhaps?  Truly slave wages.

Ah ok, that makes sense.

Also this is SL. Everybody looking to get theirs. I don't see much good D being played out there either.
