Is the Wall of Shame a way to embarrass certain people and dissuade them from posting too much? 'Cos it's not working.

If the Celtics win the IST next season, KG/PP want the Cs to turn the banner into a carpet or the felt/fabric for a pool table or a poker table. :lol:

Dunno it is very effective for me, I don't think I have shown up on one.

I saw the teams regular seasons mission was to have the best record in league and get that #1 overall seed. Mission accomplished. Top 4 seed in the east will be just fine in 24/25. Let Embiid, Giannis, Brunson, (Mitchell if he's in Cle) wear themselves down again.

I'm interested to see what the plans going to be for the 2nd unit and its minutes when the roster is finalized.

AL looked fresh all post-season and he let everyone know how important working with the training staff was this season. Out of 1078 games played in his career he started 1036 of them.
This season accounted for 32 of the 42 games he didn't start IN HIS 17 CAREER. He didn't skip a beat. 25mpg was just fine for him.

I, personally think the staff has a plan for Queta regardless if they bring back X or not. Can he be what Rob was going to be in a smaller minute size role? Can he do what Rob did in 20'/21? Joe was on the bench for that.

To me X can blend right in to the rotation and be his typical 17mpg player. He has a high bball iq and he has a nose for the ball. With that said, I'm preparing myself that he won't be back, (kind of reverse psychology on my part). :wink:

Sam and Payton to me struggled the most to get into any rhythm during the playoffs and I attribute that to the team finishing series early and having long breaks in between series. Rotations shrinking in the postseason is inevitable. It was hard to "stay ready". I'll take that again if it means #19 though, :D
They're both professionals who have shown a great work ethic to get to this point in their careers. I'd like to see their mpg bumped up to 25mpg to take some miles of the starters during the regular season.

If he's not moved I'm rooting for Springer this offseason.

The core won't be playing for their contracts this season so the miles can be decreased during the regular season.

What the tweet doesn't mention is their teammate, Paul Pressey, is the father of Al and Luke's assistant coach and former Celtic, Phil Pressey.

Too early.

It's not really a serious injury, so I don't think it's a big deal.
