Ironic

That jaylen was the best player or made the key baskets sparking the Celtics win over n.j. Wasn't able to see it.. I did feel Mickey was traveling..

Was concerned that scola had 14 points in limited minutes.. Bench big defense is my worry..

Good to see that rozier and green contributed..

Ben bentil a dnp.. sigh

some good positive things in the game but is just a pre season warmup game

Not worried about Scola's 14. There won't be many times when the Celtics are playing just bench players. Brad will probably stagger the starters rest so that there will be either Horford or Amir on the court at any given time with the bench. And we will see quite a few times with either Jae or Jaylen at the 4.

Yes nets that's what a first round pick can do..

Tommy h refers to them as the second unit..

In the past I have questioned the substution pattern... It does seem like 5 in.. 5 out..

I am a believer in a good start.. A base to build on for tough times.. Yes its preseason.. Time to tighten a few things definitely..

Definitely, we need to aim at having good starts. I'm all for that. Last year, we spent lots of energy just staging comebacks, which takes a toll eventually.

We still lack knock down shooters, which is partly why we can get into early funks. Bradley and Crowder can hit shots, and they've improved, but they're not pure shooters.

Yeah I agree darren,although I meant get off to a good start in the win loss column. Its much harder to play catchup..

Jae hasn't had a good pre season so far.. I'm concerned.. Maybe he ends up being that 6th guy.. Does he have a injury?

[DERRENMATTS]

We're only 4 games into preseason. I don't expect our players to be in mid season form, well, until midseason.

He's going to be a solid player for us once again.
