Completely forgot how much #12 sucks on the free throw line

once Kemba and Batum realize you shouldn't throw it down to Dwight - and just let him get easy put-backs - our team will get much better.. forcing offense through Big Al is way different then forcing offense through D12..

Lamb by the way - has been getting great praise from Cliff and coaching staff for offseason.. hope it translates and isnt just fluff..

You can tell that Dwight and Kemba need to work on their PnR chemistry together (on offense and defense) a little more and it'll take a few games for Dwight to find his footing in the offense, but he definitely contributed in the areas we really need him to be strong in.

Positives:

  • He had 10 rebounds (4 offensive) in 23 minutes of play. Would have had more, but Celtics fired up a ton of threes which led to longer boards out of his reach.
  • He had 3 blocked shots and he definitely altered some others
  • And while he didn't convert at a good clip, Dwight got to the foul line which has independent value

Those things listed were exactly what we really need him for. A monster on the glass and an elite rim protector. 

I think the offensive chemistry will improve as he gets more run with Kemba and Nic. Not expecting Dwight to be the all star he was a few years ago, but he's still talented. He will be a valuable piece for us this year I think

Lamb had 17 points off the bench which was great to see.

He and Monk were especially fun to watch running around on the wings together. If Frank can become more consistent, that second unit could have a ton of fire power

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
