[Coupé It]

It’s going to be really tough to do this Julius thing again man.

 

[ballinsam23]

Jrue Holiday always plays Julius well. Its the missed FTs that annoyed me.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

This team will always be what it is with Julius on the roster. But I will say, Quickley might be worth the money and trying to convince to stay. He was phenomenal last night.

 

[keko jones]

I'm interested in knowing if Donta outperforms Evan overall. It's frustrating to see Thibs overlooking a player due to his personal reasons.

 

[nick.]

Randle is going to get all of the slander when Brunson played just as poor.

Enough about Evan Fournier. He doesn't play because he can't guard, rebound, or pass. No one was caping for him at the beginning of last season.

 

[8pm at msg]

IQ and RJ really applied themselves and were very productive.

Idk if the expectations should be any different overall but last night was winnable with Brunson and Randle missing in action.

 

[donewithjs]

Mitch and Donte looked like straight dookie too last night.

 

[donewithjs]

Would be sick if we don’t sign IQ because of those 2 contracts.

 

[ballinsam23]

Brunson usually doesnt miss all those floaters. Randle I expect a ****** game from.

On to the next one.

 

[you go boy]

the missed free throws was the reason we lost... but julius only hitting 1 of them is unacceptable...

on another note IQ is going to ball out this year because of the contract and will command more money next summer smh

Mitch’s contract is actually good value. I’d argue that Hart played better last night though. We’ll see about Donte. His contract is on par with a player of his level. It’s still just one game, so I’ll give it 20 games to evaluate.

If RJ, Randle and Mitch are traded for Embiid later this season, I can see NYK offering good money for IQ; IQ will probably move to RJ's position.

And yes, last night's game loss was on missed FT's (54%.. smh) and Randle/Brunson's lackluster performance.

 

[don ramon]

hartenstein had a good game last night. good energy, very physical, didn't back down. looks stronger

mitch is a good defender and rebounder. perhaps he can do more on offense but it hasn't materialized yet

 

[nick.]

Mitch is a dominant paint defender & rebounder. Against 25 teams, he's great.

He struggles to contain stretch bigs like Porzingis last night.

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Celtic are title contenders.

We stuck with them with Brunson and Randle shooting terribly.

Quickley gonna have a big year. Shoulda locked him down early smh

KP was cookin Mitch off jump

 

[don ramon]

refs were trash last night. we saw it

 

[ballinsam23]

Yea that was a horrible call. NBA went from protecting the shooter at all costs to calling flops on the shooter.

 

[you go boy]

after watching the game yesterday the celtics dont look to be that good imo... their bench is terrible

[don ramon]

kick it robert

 

[8pm at msg]

It's only game 2 so I don't wanna call anything a must win but this would be a good time to pick up a road win

 

[onewearz]

i hate how everything just stops once Randle touches the ball

 

[8pm at msg]

Sheesh iHart coast to coast
