I'm just looking for improvements.  Trae played under control for most of the game, but then he thought we had the win sealed and got lose with it.  I'm not complaining because a few of his turnovers wwere trying to make the extra pass to get his teammates invovled.  I don't think he makes some of those passes during the regular season.  I'd like to see Trae average 3 to 4 turnovers during the regular season.  That'll be a pretty big decline from the 4.8 he averaged last year. 

Those turnovers on the traps hurt. He knew good and well he should've passed sooner BOTH times but didn't.

Agreed. He lost his focus in the 4th thinking the game was over. Teachable moments.

The scoring was impressive with all the different players in double figures. 7 players in double figures and Huerter had 8 points and 8 boards. Very difficult to guard with so many shooters...

I thought several of the Trae TOs were a result of not being on the same page with new guys which should get worked out over time. The TOs at the end are what was aggravating as they were more carelessness. 

What I like:

Efficiency.

Trae was 21 on 13 shots

Dre was 15 on 7 shots

Gallo 17 on 9 shots

All good signs.

Bogi and Gallo are going to be huge for us this year. We can count on a good 30 to 35 points from them collectively pretty much every night.

Trae will get the turnovers down.

 

1. It's the preseason, time to try shit that you wouldn't try in games that count.

2. Gaining familiarity with teammates

3. It's the preseason

Turnovers are part of his game. Bad turnover nights are going to happen. It is what it is.

Things I want to see this game:

1. Can Hunter have a repeat performance? Consistency is what I need to see from him this season.

2. Can we maintain our freethrow and rebounding edge. We had 19 Offensive rebounds.

3. Limit turnovers. We had more turnovers (23) than assists (20) last game. 

4. We got quality looks from 3, can we shoot a better percentage? We shot 10/32. 31%

5. A more decisive Bruno

6. I think I want to see more of Tyler Mays.

7. Who starts today at SG and SF?

 

1. Yes he did for the most part.

2. Yes we did

3. It was going well until the 4th. But we had more assists than TOs

4. Oh yes indeedy

5. Bruno wasn't memorable, good or bad

6. Not today

7. Huerter and Hunter

Yeah, I think they will be less frequent now that he has better teammates though. Won't be forced to do too much, should have more space to operate etc.

[PSSSHHHRRR87]

I swear it's gonna take some time seeing Rondo on the bench and not wanting to cuss him out... So use to him being in Celtics green.

18 points on 15 shot attempts, 2 rebounds, 2 assist. If this gives you confidence then the bar is really low
