According to various reports, Dionte Christmas and Jamar Smith have been cut. Christmas and Smith were both signed after impressive stints in the summer league, but through four preseason games just did not show enough for Doc Rivers and his coaching staff to keep them on board.
Christmas lit up the summer league like a Christmas tree (no pun intended), scoring 13.2 points per game while shooting nearly 48% from the field. Smith, on the other hand, had a shot to win the backup point guard spot, but turnovers and the inability to handle the offense on the whole are key factors in this decision.
The Celtics tip off in just about three and a half hours. Check back in afterwards for a recap.
