Ugly first half

Brunson looked like a backup again. Those 3 assists aside, too much ball stopping. Made no effort to get Grimes going, his starting SG. Still no chemistry with Mitch.

Grimes took no shots until the end of the second. The stars have to align for Grimes to be aggresive. Cant have that from a starting SG

Randle looks a step slower. Might be the after effects of his ankle injuries. We'll see how long that lasts.

IQ does a much better job than Brunson at getting the proper spacing, more of an effort to get his teammates the ball where they like it.

Starting in preseason, RJ looks more creative around the rim. Not just the same move to the rim anymore.

Too often it looks like the Brunson/Randle show. Would like to see an earlier effort to get everyone going. Especially if Randle and JB are bricking left and right.

i think you know you;re getting 60 ish games from KP but thats fine, you live with that if he's your 3rd or 4th best player and can be ready for playoffs.

He likely will miss lots of the regular season. But if he plays in the playoffs he can do things they other bigs they let go couldn't. Plus the Celtics took a risk, Scared money don't make money.

Knicks looking like Charles Smith in the paint, of course without the defensive hacks of the Bulls.

Man, celt’s just daring us to beat them from 3. They are going to camp out at the rim all night. We look scared to shoot from 3.

Spike Lee looks like an old woman. Can we get some new celebrity fans?

Celtics looking really good. Zinger with 4 blocks really shutting down the lane.

Randle and Brunson are looking off an open Grimes to take a contested shot. Thats on them, but Grimes has to play aggressive enough to demand the ball.

He just does not play the right way. No matter what his regular season stats are I can't stand watching him play.
