Grant "The Man" Williams in Preseason Game 2 vs. Raptors

Some random Celtics thoughts from Celtics 113-111 victory over the Raptors.

Refs suck even in preseason, Tatum goes to hoop no call, Drajic gets barely hit it's a foul! When will the scales ever be equaled out with calls for the Green? Never!

Romeo is building confidence! Will he stay healthy, does his impact carry into the regular season?

Marcus can drive, shoot and get to the hoop! He can also get the rock where it needs to be. A Junior DJ in the making?

Grant can do it all! Threes! Drives! Defense! It's preseason so let's see how he carries everything into the regular season.

So far no Jaylen - no hierarchy? JT has to assume that leadership role on the floor without the other half to the Dynamic Duo

Al is back and it feels so good to be reunited! We have missed everything you do Al. The Jedi Master to this Celtics team.

Payton chipped in with 11 and 5. If he bumps that up he will be one of the first calls off the bench.

Another slow start in the second quarter. There are times when this team falls asleep offensively, they need to break that rutt.

Josh Richardson brings a tough hard working mentality, Now we need some of the offense he used to kills us with.

Can Imes switching on every play work defensively? I'm not quite sold on it yet but it's better than Brad's calculus type D from his tenure as couch.

We are only two games in but I like the fight in this team. We need hungry Dawgs out there fighting like it's their last meal!

In defense of Marcus Smart

Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S...
