You left me in suspense. Did he choose Helvetica, Times, Sans Serif, Trade Gothic?

I’ll be surprised if the Celtics look bad, because they have Brad Stevens.

Good call, NS. While Kyrie and Hayward weren't themselves yet, the Celtics defense had the Sixers discombobulated. Not sure all the postups from Philly were the wisest strategy.

From the Duke perspective, Jayson was a stud and led Boston in scoring. He's so good at creating space for his jumper (midrange and three). Hopefully Kyrie shakes off the rust soon.

JJ came off the bench and played 30 minutes. He was only 2 for 8 from three and needed to hit a couple more to make it a game.

Good call, NS. While Kyrie and Hayward weren't themselves yet, the Celtics defense had the Sixers discombobulated. Not sure all the postups from Philly were the wisest strategy.

From the Duke perspective, Jayson was a stud and led Boston in scoring and rebounding. He's so good at creating space for his jumper (midrange and three). Hopefully Kyrie, who led the team in assists, shakes off the rust soon.

JJ came off the bench and played 30 minutes. He was only 2 for 8 from three and needed to hit a couple more to make it a game.

so Duke alums led Boston in scoring , rebounding and assists, while defeating PHI, whose bench scoring was led by JJ Redick.
In the other game, Quinn scored 3 pts + 1 ast, on 1-2 FG 1-1 3s.

Is pinning this to the top of the thread possible? Or anywhere else where it can be easily accessed for reference as we go through a loooong NBA season?

Blazin’s list omitted Lindsey Harding, who I believe is a scout with the 76’ers.

Tatum reminds me of nothing more than a modern-day Tracy McGrady. Of course, he's already had more playoff success than T-Mac ever did.

[Tripping William]

Donald's list...


Utah Jazz - Grayson Allen, Quin Snyder (head coach), Antonio Lang (assistant coach)

FIFY.

NB: When I abbreviated "assistant" to something with ending in " 't ," I got wankerized . . . .

This reads like you are trying to insult both Tatum and McGrady, which seems odd...

No insult to Tatum at all! I'm a Celtics fan, and T-Mac was awesome. He just couldn't win in the playoffs.

Oh ok. It was the “nothing more than” phrasing that sounded negative to me.

"No one" rather than "nothing" would have been better. That was what I meant.

nothing more than a Hall of Famer? Yeah, i'd hate to be compared to only one of the best players of all times.

[SF Dukie]

Bagley and Giles scored their first NBA points (6 and 2) in limited minutes against the Jazz tonight. Grayson didn't play.

[AGDukesky]

Pretty underwhelming day for former Duke players last night.

Pretty underwhelming day for former Duke players last night.

I think we will be seeing Grayson on highlight after highlight as the season progresses. The really cool thing is he has Quinn looking out for him. I think that's a match, well made made with K in mind. From a guy who grew up in NJ watching Spanrakal, it's cool knowing Utah has it.

[Truth&Justise]

Excited for the new season to be underway!

I know in years past there was a site set up by Grad_devil that would show the previous night's stats for all Duke guys in the NBA. I believe it was http://huckleberry.mhc.edu/devilStats.html.

I really loved checking that each day, but the site seems to be down. Anyone know what the deal is? Or if there's any alternative option?
