Ron Harper

And then it's like the, the thing that's tough right now with the Celtics and it's like, it's like fun, but it's also tough is you have Baylor, you have Jordan, you have Sam.

Um, you have Ugo, you have Ron Harper, junior, where else things could be good, but he's not

good.

Ron can play.

And so a little bit of, again, Celtics right where we left off.

Who'd they start in that game seven? They started Ron Harper, uh, Jr.

and- Uh, Hugo and some crazy starting lineup in game seven against Philly.

Uh, come back with another questionable starting lineup a- and I do think losing those, those starter minutes is something that actually really hurt Boston yesterday.

You have Tucker DeVry, former Mountaineer and Hoosier, Kristen Ackler, first round pick miles, who's in his teammate from college, hating gray, not familiar with his game.

Really? You have Ron Harper, Luca Garza.

Like these guys went toe to toe.

with the Philadelphia 76ers who played basically their top guys outside of VJ Edgecombe and ended up winning in overtime.

Some good calls.

I think more of a good than bad, but like still, um, they got to the free throw on a ton and the Boston, like BC, like, I don't want to say it's the C team.

Cause like you go played Ron Harper played Christian act played.

I mean, it's not like it's a week guys I'm mentioning, but, um, yeah, we'll, we'll see.

Uh, Hugo Gonzalez, uh, had a, a, a had 13 minutes that was, that, that were decent.

We got to see Ron Harper, which is nice.

And, uh, the rookies came in and did a couple of things.

But Dylan Mitchell floats, man.

They're very s- kind of schedule flexible with their lineups.

They could be like, "Oh, tonight's a Ron Harper game.

Hey, H- Hugo's gonna play 30 tonight.

Oh, we got some Sharman." And by the way, Sharman looks great.

It looks like he added, like, 10 pounds of muscle.

So I think they're looking at Tatum's basically replacing Brown from last year, and then this George, Hugo, Sharman, a little Ron Harper, um, and then more Payton Pritchard shots.

And I just think they can replace all the Jaylen offense.

So then it comes down to style stuff.

Yeah.

[laughs] Yeah, you know, Scheierman, Ugo, Hauser, Walsh, and Harper, and like, Hauser is such a unique fit with this team because he's like the one veteran guy.

We know what he does, right? Like, he's one of the best catch and shoot guys in the NBA.

And he was excellent on Saturday.

He's like, "I think this team's gonna be really good." Like, he can just sense it already from what he's seeing, the vibes around it, and that's an whole nother discussion is just how cheerful and together and, you know, like, cl- you know, just connected this team feels like, uh, to begin camp here, which, you know, can sometimes be the case, and then you see how the year goes.

But there is a lot of optimism about this season internally that's building, and I think all those options they have and the steps they're taking individually are, are a big part of it.

And, and I don't want to write off Harper, who we haven't seen yet, and, and Walsh, who started on Saturday, actually, and then started on-

Yeah

Now, those are the guys who didn't start.

I mean, don't – and we're not even talking about guys like Ron Harper, who's shown promise of being someone that could potentially help them.

And some of the other guys, I mean, the Celtics are basically 10, 11, 12 guys, deep, uh, legitimate NBA players that can actually play.

And I don't think you, and I think that's, to me, that has to be their calling card this year.
