Roundtable: Winning Submission = Thumbnail ... Sam Sheehan, Lucky's Pipe, and Evan Valenti are joined by @HebertofRiffs to engage in a passionate defense of Robert Williams before launching into the thick, jacked meme contest that we put out last week.

The meme contest will be available on YouTube sometime Monday, and is probably better viewed than listened to. You can find it here upon release: https://www.youtube.com/user/CLNSRadio/videos

The Celtics were without Semi Ojeleye, Jabari Bird, Kadeem Allen, and once again Robert Williams, as they had to lean on even younger and more inexperienced players for what turned out to be their final game in the 2018 Las Vegas Summer League. The injury bug hit the team hard following a short stretch of consecutive games early in July. The 95-80 win gives the Portland Trail Blazers a spot in the semifinals Monday night.

The Boston Celtics win improve to 4-1 and advance to the quarter finals of Las Vegas Summer League. Standout Jabari Bird and rookie Robert Williams did not play.

Second year forward Semi Ojeleye had 21 points to help pace the Celtics as they advanced past Kevin Knox and the Knicks in the first round of the Las Vegas NBA Summer League Playoff Tournament.

Jabari Bird added a double-double, and Boston moves on to play the Miami Heat on Saturday in Round 2.

President Danny Ainge appears to be ready to match nearly any qualifying offer for Marcus Smart as the Celtics begin to move their focus from Free Agency, to the 2018-19 marathon of a season. Boston will take on New York on Thursday afternoon in the first round the of NBA Summer League Vegas Tournament.
