Sterling gets his 1st start in the Bucks 116-94 loss at Philly. In 39 minutes he scores 14 pts on 5-9 shooting, including 4-7 threes. He added 2 boards and 1 steal. Not a bad debut but comes in a rather lopsided loss.

Kidd did something Carlisle will never do and play his bench and give some of his starters some rest. Glad to see Brown hit some 3 pointers. Still love his game and future.

So IΓÇÖm watching the Celtics play the nuggets. Semi is playing the 3 and is chasing Around a guard on defense. He looks like he is the 2nd shortest player on the floor for the Celtics after kyrie

Semi hits 2-3 threes and scores 6 pts in his 16 minutes. Also contributes 2 boards in the Celtics' win at Denver. Meanwhile, Sterling is settling into his role with the Bucks. Scored 10 points in 20 minutes on 4-7 shooting (2-3 from three). He also pulled down 2 boards and added a steal. Guys are doing well on the court.

I donΓÇÖt know if it was the coaching change or what but Sterling is now getting the most minutes of any non-starter for the Bucks, and putting up numbers. He only had 4 points today but also had 8 rebounds in 26 minutes. On Friday he had 9 points, 3 boards in 17 minutes in a close win over the NYK. Sterling and Semi will both have long careers in the Association.

Certainly appears a possibility for those guys. Meanwhile, I don't understand the Pacers calling Ben up only to have him sit. I don't think he's played yet.

bad day all around for former and current SMU players, shooting wise. Semi played 24 minutes in the Celtic's loss to Cleveland and went 0-4 on threes

Anyone surprised that Sterling is having a better rookie year than Semi?
