[eja117]

watching this. Fab looking decent and a little confident

[eja117]

They've been talking a long time to Richard Jefferson. I wish they'd talk about the players more

[eja117]

Celtics leading handily

[CF00]

Sullinger is really big. He looks slow as hell sometimes though.

Our summer league team is really good.

The camera angle is much better. I like being able to see them getting up and down the court.

[eja117]

Bad foul by JJJ. There is no way he's the 3rd best player for Boston

[CF00]

Sullinger starting to move around a bit. Nails a 3.

[CF00]

I like the way this team is working together.

[CF00]

Sullinger never rushes anything. JJ could take some lessons from that. Fab, JJ and Sullinger is a pretty good big man group we have here up and coming though. Plus sean williams. Sullinger is really getting to be featured here.

I hope we can keep at least 5 of these guys.

I hate when they do that. On national TV they cut away from the action to talk to people that have no relationship to the game in hand. They talk about the most inane stuff and ignore the game going on. I HATE that! I tuned in to watch the Celtics and not Richard Jefferson talking about his conditioning exercises.

[FLCeltsFan]

Fab showed some nice moves and decision making in the first half. Really like Joseph. If I had to choose right now between Moore and Christmas I'd pick Christmas. If I had to pick between Joseph and J³ I'd go with Joseph.

[FLCeltsFan]

Hawks tighten up their defense and cut the lead to 12. Celtics rushing things and not showing the same patience they did in the first half.

yeah right now id take joseph over jjj. shame of it is that jjj will prolly get the nod because he has a guaranteed contract.

[FLCeltsFan]

Really liking Kris Joseph. The announcers made a good point that unless J³ can bulk up he needs to learn to play the 3. He just doesn't have enough strength to guard 4's for the most part.

[FLCeltsFan]

Nice job by the Celtics to bounce back after the Hawks cut it to 8 points. Sullinger looking good again. Melo looking the best he has in SL so far. Christmas still impressing. I love the way he crashes the boards. I think that may give him an edge over Moore if I had to decide between the two. I'd rather take the better rebounder than the better 3 point shooter.
