Okay boys! The all mighty Green are here to play, I predict a win. 98-92. DeMar with 20+ Bargs with 20+ Amir with a double double. Go Raps baby!
I predict JM goes off. Right away, but will slow down. I wanna get the ball to DeMar as much as possible.
Bargs rebounding well! Ed is awesome. Calderon and bayless both look bad. JJ has been great with his blocking
thanks for making the thread master shake!!! observations bargnani still sucks with his post defense. he still gets muscled underneath the basket way too easily. although, his help defense and rebounding appears much better. offence looks good. derozan has range on his jumper but his handles have not improved at all. he looks very mechanical offensively and predictable. ed davis looks like an emerging beast. i have no complaints about him. caledron has lost confidence in his jumper and cannot finish at the basket at all.although, he was really competing defensively. bayless looked confused especially offensively about when to create for himself and when to create for others. amir looked good coming off surgery. gary forbes is my new fav player. he does everything well and might be the best shooter on the team. solid defender as well. butler was not good offensively and decent defensively. james johnson was a beast defensively. he reminds me of shawn marion. aaron grey looked a step too slow defensively. i hope he plays only in emergency situations. magloire looked alright i guess. barbosa gets posted up way too easily at the two. i think he makes a better one than two in this league.
I actually thought Bargs looked really good on defense. Even got a good block near the end. His rebounding looked a lot better too. Rasual Butler looks like the new tank commander. Barbosa and Calderon were both awful. Bayless started off poorly but came alive in the fourth. JJ, ED, and Amir were all awesome. Great to see DD hit the three but he needs more touches, that could be the coach's fault but he needs to demand it too.
true but your starters couldn't extend the lead past ten which is disconcerting when they have been playing together for a lifetime. u guys have no bench outside of bass with the absence of jeff green. i really think the celts are going to struggle this season with the concentrated schedule
