    This is a nightmare. I am revising my 2015-16 prediction from 42 wins to 13. This is only the Celtics. Imagine how we'll look against good teams.

    Yeah, Connaughton knows how to move without the ball and get open.

    I will be frankly amazed if this team wins any games in Summer League.

    Did you see the halftime montage of the blazers in the first half...they showed the only basket Fraizer made

    Orton has 6 fouls and 3 turnovers. In less than 9 minutes.

    We should get Elliot Perry for our summer league team.

    First-Half Thoughts:
    Tim Frazier can go. Dude gets the ball and is up the court in a flash. It's really nice to see the team play with some tempo for a change. Whether it was B-Roy or LA, we NEVER ran. Although it's just the beginning of summer, I'm loving the pace. He'll also rack up the assists when he gets to play with the varsity (ie: That lob to Moultrie is flushed home by Meyers or Mase)

    Allen Crabbe's shot continues to be inconsistent. With that said, there's no need to panic. He's not a summer league player, meaning he'll never explode for 25 because he's a specialist who needs others to create for him. I would like to see him become more aggressive on D (that steal was nice) and hit those open jumpers. But let's not freak out just because he had a poor shooting half. He's proven he can shoot when given looks in an NBA setting.

    Pat Connaughton is going to be a fan favorite. He's a great 3&D player who just knows where to be on the floor. He and Frazier have a nice little chemistry brewing early on. I really hope this kid gets some decent run in the regular season. Like Crabbe, I don't think the summer league is probably the best setting for him either. I think we'll see his game improve when playing with better players.

    Luis Montero had a nice triple, but other than that I didn't notice him too much. He'll definitely be a project, so whatever we get from him is gravy.

    If we didn't have Frazier, we'd have less than 20 points at halftime.

    Hoping we see a lot more Montero in the 2nd half. He played tentative at first, but on his two shots looked like a lightbulb went on realizing he's only going to make an impression playing loose and a little selfishly. That's summer league.

    Frazier is kind of what I expected Telfair to be ... amazing court vision, hesitation dribble, quick as a cat.

    That's what Crabbe can do! Both great finds by Frazier.
