Maine Celtics, 2024-25 – Loss in the EC Finals

Post #1221 » by **Parliament10** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 4:43 pm

We've got 4 Guys OUT.

3 of the Guys are Ball-Handlers.
Not sure what we're going to do about PG's, today?

London Johnson as that Startering PG.
Ron Harper as the PG, off the Bench.

Scheierman must be playing PG, as well?

The tuxedo t-shirts are a classy touch for the announcers lol.

10-Players (base amount) on a G League Team, in not enough.
Too many missing players. -- They need to go 12-15 Players, like the Regular NBA.

Call-ups are coming, too.
They may have to replace some of these players, with guys who haven't been practicing with them.

Anton Watson's been injured, too.
Not sure if he should play in this Game?

Only 8 Players, without Watson.

I'm not in game shape, but I can waive a towel with no warmups needed.

The international stash doesn’t push the needle enough. I’d rather have a 3rd round in the draft just for international stash players. Doesn’t have to be a must for each team. Give them the option to use it. If not they can lose it. Give the American kids more chances to make it in the g league which is a win for them and the g league. Obviously UDFA is a big advantage for teams but you can have both. Just using the examples of Mader and Juhan, what a waste of picks. Give those spots to kids who want to to stay in the states, get paid a little and showcase themselves.

Hahaha!!!

Watson's been playing this afternoon. So, they have 9 Players.
Opponents only have 8 players.

Celtics are running a PG-by-Committee.
They are really out of sorts without Davison. I didn't realize he made that look so easy.

Scrubb would have been nice to see develop last year if he didn’t pop his acl.

I like running the offense through Rico

A 3rd Round to the Draft, is long overdue. We've already got 3 x Two-Ways (and only 2 Rounds).
And, that's allegedly going to go up to 5 x Two-Ways, at some point.

We need at least another Round. There's plenty of Talent out there, in the cracks.

Sorry to all the JD fans but the energy is so much better on the offensive end without him. Instead of watching the shot clock wind down with him handling the ball, the ball moves around and lots of movement.

The ball is really moving. They were looking like a chicken with it's head cut off, to Start.
PG-by-Committee is working out.

JD monopolized the PG spot the last two years. I usually switched channels when he was in. I like a little summer league craziness over 5 months.

Sharp is killing us, at 7'5".
Gotta put Hason Ward on him.

Edit:
Maybe Kavion Pippen, who's heavier.

Scheierman, with 5 Fouls. 7+ mins left.

I don't like this Multi-point Free-throws.

The 3 to make 2 back in Bird's early days got eliminated. You'd think they'd not make another weird mood to fix a problem that isn't broken, but here we are.

London Johnson waived. Maybe I’m Eddie Mush
