Joe Mazzulla told the Celtics Blog his thoughts on the Celtics Center depth ahead of the NBA Preseason: “It starts with Luke. I thought Luke really did a great job last year, and I think he’s an underrated player. And I don’t think people realize how effective he is.”

It takes a little time for Kornet to get going he’s like the Tin Man he needs to be oiled well lol.💚☘️#18
Love your commentary!
Kornet= C- he is not aggressive enough on defense and he has a tall body but not a big body and he is not able to rough it down low!! Queta Time…
I think Neemias Queta will start many games this season.
D
I personally think the bucks got it. Giannis+Dame is too strong. They were also doing bad against the 76ers and they had their ENTIRE starting lineup play. The 76ers didn’t even have embiid or harden.
He'll yes Brad Stevens should sign neesmias Queta to Boston Celtics 53 Man roster
Kornet will be gone for sure
Luke kornet just don't want to be looked at from the other teams as an offensive weapon during preseason he's saving it for regular season lol
If Payton Pritchard continue his shooting in regular season this kid deserves 15-18 minutes
Kornet is a D I pick Queta
B
Mazulla should have been skipped as a candidate for Coaching the last year. So he should be Fired ASAP…!!! His philosophy is retarded, his rotations are stupid, and he cost us Marcus Smart…!
I don’t like him at all…
As a person he’s great… As the Coach of a team with Championship Expectations, No Way. He should be learning in The G League first then maybe Coach the Hornets or Jazz or something… GHTFOH…!!!
Kornet was good against Embiid last Szn when Rob was out. Let's relax for now qs there are not much available bigman to get. Rather keep him
Tell me who can stop Giannis.There is no one on this team that can stop Giannis. Kornet must be cut he's useless. Porzingis has tons of skills but stoping Giannis is not one of them. Queta should be signed to a team contract them hire a decent center. And someone to make the team play defense.

I bet Allie Barefoot used to stick three pointers playing ball
Luke always sucks, no idea who said he is good.
I hope its a way to add Neemias to the roster and maybe put Luke Kornet on the two way contract
I dont what Mazzula loves about Kornet…he cant rebound…hez not a great passer…and hez slow and has bad hands… seriously.
No one on the Celtics wins mvp cause they’re all so damn good and we get 6 all stars instead
pretty version of julia stiles
I’d cut Hauser if we can upgrade from him. Nice guy but he is just too inconsistent for me.
I think it’s going to take the C’s about 40 games to gel into to what I hope is a true championship contender. Lots of players to integrate in to the system as well as the coaching staff. Let’s go Celtics!
Sign freedom we fken owe him he was done ditty

I don't know what people found in Luke. For his height, he is terrible at rebounding, and in defense he constantly gets lost for this reason and jumps in attempts to block at a distance of 5 meters from the player. He's more of a meme hero than an NBA player. Queta brings more benefits. It feels like Luke is a young and promising G League player, not Queta.
Kornet time is up he not a factor on this team not even in preseason games he can’t hang with the big boys.. It a wrap let’s all say goodbye to Luke Kornet 👋he’s a useless center @ this point still not able to Box-out, Weak-Rebounding, No Blocking, Weak Defense 🚷
Y
Kornet is too weak.. Unreliable Center and that’s cause for (Termination/🚫/Wave)
You don’t need Stevens to have a crazy offensive game because of our first 7. We just need good defense, rebounding, and hustle plays from him 👌🏾
