Tacko Fall is in the concussion protocol for hitting his head on the ceiling at the Celtic practice facility? What?!?!? This place opened a year ago. How in the world does a facility for NBA players have ceilings that low? Even the air ducts should be super sized just in case.

Quote:

Before the Boston Celtics shoot around at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Fall explained to MassLive that he was trying to wash his hands after a workout at the practice facility but didn’t notice a “low ceiling.”

Fall hit his head, but initially thought nothing of it. He later participated in the Celtics swim lesson event at the Charlestown Boys and Girls Club with no noticeable effects. He says he even went back to the Auerbach Center afterwards to get more work in.

However, the next morning he woke up and wasn’t feeling well.

All 3 games are 1 point spreads tonight. What are we liking???

I'm thinking Hawks, Rockettes and Clips. All 3 road teams seems unlikely though. Looking forward to some good games!

Points in the 2nd quarter are worth the same as points late in the game. Most coaches don't understand that which is why you get the idiots who will sit a guy 1.5 quarters b/c of foul trouble.

Grunching from this point on but it's not exactly that simple. I mostly agree coaches overreact but him being in foul trouble completely changes the complexity of their defensive scheme and he's going to be a much weaker defender in general for the better part of the game if he does indeed happen to not pick up a foul. The blazers would generally have a much easier time getting to the rim and joker wont be as effective offensively as well as rebounding the ball.

If a guy gets three quick fouls I'm fine with sitting him down for 5 minutes of real time (could be much less actual game time) to cool off and think about what he's doing or what his opponents are doing to cause these fouls. Having a guy sit for a quarter and a half is just silly nonsense.

I agree that might be excessive and certainly they need to sit just for being stupid and are clearly not playing well as it is. But to assume that they would play exactly as they did later on in the game is not correct

This rookie class is quickly falling apart. First Zion's knee blows up and now Tacko will be unable to even practice for the rest of his time as a Celtic b/c their facilities are inadequate.

i like the over 225 in the LAC-GSW game. Warriors had 16th ranked defense last year, with DAR in place of Klay and KD/Iggy gone their defense is going to stink. Offense will still be fine as long as Curry is there.

Ayton looking happy about playing with Rubio.

WRT Wiggins: unfortunately it's obvious that he sucks. HOWEVER, 7 of his buckets last night gave the wolves the lead or tied the game. His game was as impactful as possible for a game with that horrible statline by someone that sucks, if that makes any sense.

revisiting my take from july:

PG: Rubio, Tyler Johnson
SG: Booker, Cameron Johnson (if his hips survive he is shooting 40% from three)
SF: Bridges, Oubre (eh, this area sucks i'm not gonna lie)
PF: The Homie Dario, Frank The Tank
C: Ayton, Baynes

that is not a 25 win team imo. that team is conservatively getting 32 wins. not unrealistic to get spicy and say they make a Kings'ish run by shooting lots of threes and being coached competently by Monty.

Suns opened at 25 wins and got bet up to 29.5 wins.

I am going to irrationally stan the Suns for the time being because I think if you got in early this was the easiest over bet of the year. In for the inevitable crash and burn. MONTY.

Was pretty stoked to turn on the Celtics game and see Jayson Tatum's first shot a midrange jumper. Sooooo we're gonna suck this year.

Suns are pretty fun. Monty Williams, while maybe he sucks as an Xs and Os coach, is a definite LEADER OF MEN. Those guys played hard as **** in the first game which has never happened before in the Devin Booker era (and Booker had the EYE OF THE TIGER and was LOCKED IN on defense)
