So Celtics play the most casual preseason on cruise control and then they come out and put away one of their supposed top contenders in Q1 essentially.

Too early to even overreact, but I hope someone in East shows that they can offer some resistance to the Cs.

NYK has two new all stars and the Celtics have extreme continuity. Wolves and Knicks will take time to gel.

Can't overreact to one game, but it's all we have right now. I think the worrying thing if I was a Knicks fan was that their team was supposed to be built to compete with Boston and they didn't look like they were in the same league. Specifically the Boston wings weren't slowed down at all.

Yeah, but they were cooking offensively and it's against the best team in the NBA.
 
I think the Wolves will need more from Randle this season. He’ll need an adjustment period, but the Wolves can’t rely on Conley to be an initiator and I think they know that. McDaniels and Gobert are already non-creators so it puts too much pressure on Ant who isn’t necessarily efficient to begin with.

BTW, just watching Gobert and the way he works is incredible. The difference between him and another generic rim runner/protector is insane. I agree with others that he’s not the same athlete, but his effort level is still elite. He makes so many winning plays. Little things like setting good screens, being active on the glass, drawing fouls etc.

I’m not sure that extension will be the best as his athleticism declines….but I get it. He’s a must have for the Wolves.
 
Been watching DET play. I’ve been optimistic about them all summer bc of their vets and still feel that way….but damn some of their young guys look terrible/overrated. They have lots of minutes going to guys who have no business being in their respective roles.
