You noticed the couple of armbars he had going on Edey? That wasnt nice of him. I liked it.Did Walker touch a boob in the offseason?

If a guy is being selfish we gonna call him on it. Key was clearly not super serious last night which I don’t love but it’s not the end of the world. If guys aren’t playing the right way during the season we should feel free to complain. One of the biggest questions facing this team is “can Key be the pgotf”. It’s summer league and it’s the first game and clearly he was kinda loose. As my daughters would say… it’s not that deep. It’s fine but dude was a black hole last night… when summer league gets ugly that’s kinda what it turns into.How can that be when JCs are still here?
I mean we want the team to be bad so let the players play losing ball. Whining really does nothing except makes this season more insufferable.
He missed several guys on the perimeter lol. It’s fine and we don’t need to go overboard but we also don’t need to treat him like the anointed one.I just dont get going overboard about a guy taking too many shots in SL. It's not like Keyonte was missing open players (didnt re-watch, maybe I'm wrong). Hendricks/Williams didnt like they could do anything with the ball in the half-court. Sensabaugh was a TO machine and Walker is Walker (and Keyonte did find him once or twice). I didnt groan at too many Keyonte shots. He took a lot, but he was getting himself open.
Collier had some nicer drive and kick here and there, but he actually missed wide open players.
Yeah thats why I posted the plead.I just dont get going overboard about a guy taking too many shots in SL. It's not like Keyonte was missing open players (didnt re-watch, maybe I'm wrong).

It was a great performance. He was getting beat up and he kept going and won the game for the team. He should have had 20+ FTs and he was being guarded by a good NBA guard defender.He missed several guys on the perimeter lol.

Oh I have no trouble pointing out he was selfish and played hero ball. Did it myself.If a guy is being selfish we gonna call him on it.

lol. Okay. He got fouled a lot on the perimeter with them being overly aggressive and got a lot of free throws. I doubt he has that amount of free throws in any game next year. Shot making was still iffy… the passing and playmaking was premeditated… the defense was the same as last year. He was fine but we don’t need to glaze him or crucify him.It was a great performance. He was getting beat up and he kept going and won the game for the team. He should have had 20+ FTs and he was being guarded by a good NBA guard defender.
Haven't noticed any sulking from Taylor. I worry about feel with him but if you look at where he was last year to this year just handling the ball without being tragic is big. He needs to be a wrecking ball out there though and I am not sure he is ever special unless something clicks in there full time.Cody didnt really do much, but he is so graceful in the air. Just has a way of navigating the ball in traffic in a very controlled way.
I really dont have much for Hendricks ever figuring things out to be more than a fairly strict 3&D player. He really has to learn to self-motivate to play hard when he isnt getting the ball because he just isnt going to get the ball that much given his extremely limited skillset. Him and Walker kind of have similar issues in that I feel like they both want to be more than they are, but if they just play hard they are going to be fine and make a lot of money in the NBA, but they will sulk and press the issue unnecessarily if they arent getting the ball.

Nah. They just weren't on the same page with everything.So your theory is that Hardy went rogue against the front office and refused to listen to them, and so Ainge, in retaliation, traded Ochai/Simone/Olynyk for picks primarily as a result of Hardy's malfeasance?
That's your theory?
Yes... at the end of the season once he kinda oriented himself he was a lot more active. I think second half he was better so hopefully it was a "first game" type of adjustment.His feel is obviously a concern, but his activity level needs to be more consistent imo. Thought it was OK tonight, but it was like a 7/10…he needs to be a 10/10 every night. One of the reasons he was impressing last year is that he was hustling like crazy and getting tons of loose balls, rebounds, deflections, blocks, etc.
it was 30 points on 21 shots and 19 FTA. Not sure how that changes it, but for the sake of accuracy...
I guess NBA.com didnt track the OT scoring?it was 30 points on 21 shots and 19 FGA. Not sure how that changes it, but for the sake of accuracy...
maybe. yeah, that would make sense.I guess NBA.com didnt track the OT scoring?
Ya I watched him play a few years ago and thought he looked amazing but draft pros were thinking he was too much of a dinosaur to be in the NBA.GMs kinda over thought that. Can you imagine if he’d had come out the year before and been an end of first guy.
