Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.

One could harp on the fact that after a week of dazzling play, this Celtics squad served up a dud in their first “meaningful” game or that Carsen Edwards missed a key free throw with 37 seconds remaining, but I won’t be that guy.

Instead, we’ll celebrate the electrifying Edwards (I feel like he can stumble into 6-8 points per game) and salute the gutsy Tremont Waters for playing just days after his father’s passing.

I’m not sure where Tacko Fall fits on this roster, but he sure was entertaining. After all the hype, this might be my most memorable photo:

What’s next? Not much. With the end of Summer League, we’ve reached the doldrums of the NBA.

It’s possible Danny Ainge finds a way to sign or acquire a veteran big man. Stay tuned!
