"Celtics were better on defense with Kelly on the floor (97.7) than the Warriors(100.9)"

KO was surprisingly solid in holding his own in one on one situations because his length made it difficult to shoot over but more important he his mobile enough to defend in space. Also it doesn't hurt that he is allowed to get away with subtle bumps/fouls that were called more frequently against him in the past. If you watch closely you can notice he gets right into the shooter space and because he isn't overly physical he can get away with small touch fouls that ruin the opposing players rhythm in getting off a good shot.

Agree he has improved for sure defensively. Offensively he needs to take more shots. It will be interesting to see how long the celtics resign him for.

Kelly O is one of my favorite guys. Physical enough, skilled, just a big log jam at C in Boston.

Agree. They need to get rid of sully. He is inconsistent/short and his weight will always be a problem.

Love isn't worth the farm. He's not a piece you can build around.

Ran into him at a club on Saturday. True story.

Most casually dressed multi millionaire you'd ever see.
