Tough to bet the under because they'll definitely be in the market to add another stud as the season progresses. They have plenty of pieces to give for a max player on a team that stumbles...Blake? Aldridge? Millsap?Big fan. Still betting the under though.

League source confirms @olgunuluc report from Down Under that veteran NBA guard Steve Blake is signing with the Sydney Kings in Australia.

Yea, having the swap with BRK pick for the next yer, and their outright pick in 2018 is kinda ridiculous. Especially when this is what that team is putting out there for a 15 man roster. ooooooffffTough to bet the under because they'll definitely be in the market to add another stud as the season progresses.

The catch all thread is in the FFA.there is no catch all NBA thread?
Mudiay just put up 24 points in the fist quarter against the Celts
They win through effort and throwing athletes at people on defense.I like Stevens, but I wish he could figure out how to manage a lineup. Get 8 guys and stick with them. What's with this using 12 guys garbage?
Ummmm.Ummmm
Al Horford and Jae Crowder are out injured. Kind of hard to stick with an 8 man rotation (not that any team actually has an 8 man rotation in the regular season anyway), when 2 of your starters are out
WootPretty excited for the 2018/19 season.
There was a preview special on tv last night and they were discussing the Celtics biggest issue ... playing time and who gets shots.
Such a good problem to have but really so much talent on this team it's going to be hard getting everyone the ball / stats that they deserve.
Assuming the starting lineup is; Kyrie, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Horford
OK, Horford can go without ... but the other 4 will want to score with recognition and future contracts on the line. Curious to see how this plays out.
I wonder if it makes more sense to bring Hayward off the bench? At minimum, he'll be playing fewer minutes than the rest of the starters as his body gets back into NBA form. Also, I wonder how often we'll see Rozier playing the 1 with Kyrie playing off ball?Pretty excited for the 2018/19 season.

Hayward is their second best player. He needs to be a starter and the fastest way to get him in that role is to just start him there.I wonder if it makes more sense to bring Hayward off the bench?

I was too. What a letdown so far.Great article here on Kyrie and the Celtics in general coming into this season.
So unbelievably excited about this season.
It is a point of grief to see young people who don't feel a need or obligation to argue with the gods when inspiration seizes them, but i have to admit that, if i'm going to kill God, this is how it goes. maybe the ultimate set-aside is that, because of pure talent, members of oppressed races & classes will have first crack at that. poetic justice....Great article here on Kyrie and the Celtics in general coming into this season.

yeah, there's flow again with Maaaacus Smaaaat setting the high screens for Kyrie that the young bucks can't/won't. and i dont know if it was the rest or getting the share of the ball he wants on the 2nd unit, but Jaylen Brown (who may be a slow starter anyway) looked great. scrubs of the East are gonna loooove facing JB, Hayward & Rozier for their minutes every night.Jayrod said:Don't look now, but things are clicking.
Brad has found a few of the right buttons and the boys are playing together again.
Morris is also playing the best ball of his career right now and deserves to stay in the starting lineup.yeah, there's flow again with Maaaacus Smaaaat setting the high screens for Kyrie that the young bucks can't/won't. and i dont know if it was the rest or getting the share of the ball he wants on the 2nd unit, but Jaylen Brown (who may be a slow starter anyway) looked great. scrubs of the East are gonna loooove facing JB, Hayward & Rozier for their minutes every night.
and i'm a LOT less scared of the Sixers after watching them twice this week. Simmons & Embiid STILL havent developed a relationship, both their games are devolving and the new guys (Butler, Chandler & Muscala) haven't been integrated into the "playbook" yet. Simmons and Butler actually looked happier on JoJo's nite off Friday and, when you play better ball without the best post since Shaq, sumn's very wrong. It's kinda good i'm boycotting the FFA b-ball thread cuz all i'd be doing is arguing with Sixers fans over what an utter void their coach is.
