Looking for KP to keep showing off his amazing skills, a 15+ game from THJ, around 18 total assists (dont know from who) and overall decent defense

[Mr. Glass]

Boston has changed a lot. First win?

[Ari_Ingus]

I truly believe first win, KP excellent game with 37 points, 5 blocks, 4 assists and 10+ rebounds. Trust me, im from future
Willy will play 10+ minutes btw, and fail

[rebound]

team tank says vi lose

[NYGM]

What we need is keep working on the teamwork..

KP need to continue to stablish his presence as N°1 option and we need to find a way to star THJ going..

Hopefully defense will improve and we start hitting those 3's

[Nononsense]

I just hope THJ got the memo that the season has started.

How can Willy fail? (If he gets minutes. Kanter and O'Quinn have played too well to sit down.)

To the game: Could be a close one, because Boston without Hayward might still be in trouble in this phase having so many new and unexperienced faces.

[Laborant]

It`s hard to fathom why Willy haven`t played real minutes jet. I don`t believe that Kanter/O'Quinn both were clearly better than him in preseason practice. More compelling reason is that front office gave signal to Horny to put them on the floor to up their stock come mid season trade window.

Looking forward to the individual matchup between THJ and Jaylen Brown. I want to give Brown his props, cause the start to his NBA career looked shaky for a minute, but I guess the same can be said for THJ.

THJ's offensive game would look a lot better if New York had a real playmaker, like Jaylen with Kyrie.

Until then, keep chucking THJ.

[n8 the gr8]

Is Baynes the guy that used to wear the facemask for Detroit? Boston's always gotta have a redhead.

KP vs Horford and THJ v Brown will be interesting matchups.

[thewatcher]

Kanter with 7 rebounds already; he's always around the rebound.

[thewatcher]

Sessions

[Ari_Ingus]

Kanter with 7 rebounds already; he's always around the rebound.

and a block, i like him a lot. KP 2 rebounds offensive

[thewatcher]

Brown a tough cover for Tim.

[Ari_Ingus]

Tim doing the same as last games, ISO and missing shots.

[thewatcher]

Yeah kp and Kanter great size. 9 rebounds Kanter 1st quarter.

[Don Che]

A pg would do wonders for this team

Tim takes bad shots....misses entry passes.....gets bodied by Jaylen....postered by Tatum this guy is something special

[ISIAH_THOMAS]

Tim another great signing

[Koopa Troopa]

Can we get hernangomez out there or are we drinking the kool aid that the rest of the team is amazing and losing every night means not playing your young big??
