More than likely.

NBATV does replays of the games - at least twice a day from what I've seen.

Hope Jenkins finds a way to get some minutes this year.

Wonder if Jordan Taylor will make it in the league.

Wonder what Steamboat is up to right now, as well. I'd like to think he's doing some heavy drinking with all the stress of FA season.

Post by: mainevent on July 16, 2012, 04:36:02 PM
These guards like to shoot too much. Gibson, Smith and Moore are shooting to be noticed, not even attempting to work the ball inside. X-mas however looks for the best 'play', pass or shot.

Initially I was a hater of the Fab pick, but I've never seen him play. But now that I have, I like what I see, potential-wise.

Dude's ATHLETIC. With good footwork.

He'll have a career.

Agree. I think he beats out Moore for the 14th or 15th spot.

I really hope we can do a sign n trade for EM and JJJ. I thought very highly of JJJ when he was drafted and I understand he didn't get much PT last year, but that should have just made him really hungry starting with this SL but he really looks non-interested.
EM is just chuckin away smh.

Change, I see Johnson struggling not Sully

he was struggling to finish inside against the shot blockers. Thus resulting to taking jumpshots. JJ is a lost cause at this point. His laid back demeanour will have him out of league soon.

I like Jamar Smith. Not for the C's, but he can find an undersized scoring PG role somewhere. Probably Charlotte  :P, Jordan loves those.
Jamar Smith actually just got signed to a contract by the Celtics (Nobody knows the details about it). He has a shot making this team over Moore if Christmas doesnt.

I think it was a non-guaranteed contract, basically for training camp fodder.

He's be smarter to go somewhere else if he had any other offers. He'll have fun with Sweetney, but that's about it. D league signing?
He could be an addition to the Maine Red Claws. Remember that the last 3 cuts from the Celtics training camp can be offered a contract.

He's coaching his behind off. He has the right head coach to mentor him, though. It's inevitable Ty Lue will be good if Doc sees potential in him. I think he's already better than Spoelstra  ;D.

Joseph
KG
PP
Melo
Green
Bass
Wilcox

Sully

Moore and Johnson need to be dumped for a SG or another body that can contribute

Yeah, Kris' ceiling this year is some spot contributions if a SF gets hurt and he moves up to backup 3 for a few weeks.  Other than that it's a steady diet of D-League and garbage time for the season.

Like the kid for the future though.  Heck of a pick at 51.

IF JJJ isn't shipped out in a sign and trade...he will spend a LONG time in the D League. He has NO place in any rotation. Sully has passed him for back up minutes to bass...

Kris only needs a chance ...he is the REAL DEAL.

I guarantee you said the same thing about Billy Walker, Pruit, Giddens, Lester Hudson etc.

"He thinks his future is at 3 spot."

Translation: His future is Europe.

Seriously.  If you can't create at all you are not playing the 3.



I like what I saw from Melo today, some nice passing.  Still has room to improve but good signs.  I loved that touch pass to Williams.

Sully and Joseph continue to impress.


Kris only needs a chance ...he is the REAL DEAL.

I guarantee you said the same thing about Billy Walker, Pruit, Giddens, Lester Hudson etc.

And perhaps he said the same thing about Avery... or maybe he didn't.

Lets not be negative about all of our draft picks because some didn't work out.

Sorry, I misread your original post.  Thought it said JJJ is the real deal, which he absolutely isnt.

I agree that Joseph has some potential.  However, we need to keep in mind that summer league is dominated by athletic wings. I really like Joseph's game, but he has shown some really bad shot selection at times.  I think that he has a much better shot at turning into an nba role player than Moore or JJJ do.  However, I would say his ceiling is a 20-25 mpg 7-10 ppg type of player who can come in and give instant offense and energy. Think Mikael Pietrus.

 He looks really good right now but Syracause is a highly visible, well regarded program so theres no way this many scouts missed on him. Also, he is nearly 24 years old, a lot of people dont realize that he started college 2 years late and was a senior.

Anyways, I do think he has a decent shot at becoming a legit nba player, but we really need to temper expectations.  He's very versatile and has a polished offensive game, but as of right now, he is not a guy you want playing serious minutes, nor is he a solution to our backup SG problem.

Also, I am from Montreal, Quebec, which is where KJ is from so Im really rooting for him.  Just tryign to be realistic and avoid the inevitable debates that followed players like Walker, Giddens etc.

LOVE Melo's vision. Excellent passer for a big! Reminds me of KG PASSING wise only of course. Doc did say they love his passing didn't he?  ;D

Melo in some ways is a better passer than KG already. That touch pass early in the game was a beauty. I have never seen kg do that before. (then again he usually just dunk those)

Kris Joseph doesn't have one any oustanding skills, but combine very good skills and plus height, athleticism and quickness he is going to have a very nice nba future.

Prob the best thing about him is that, when things get intense it doesn't seem to phase him at all. All syracuse boys including Waiters, Melo seem to have this trait about them.

If Joseph can develop a left hand (to handle and finish) and shoot with better consistency , he will be a very good player in this league. Starter potential

Final roster needs to be:

Rondo
Terry
TBA FA SG
Bradley
Joseph
KG
PP
Melo
Green
Bass
Wilcox
TBA FA BIG
Sully

Moore and Johnson need to be dumped for a SG or another body that can contribute

This is what I been sayin!

Interesting analysis from Sam Mitchell. He says Johnson body isn't cut for power forwards. He thinks his future is at 3 spot. Needs to add range to his shot

And that! Geez

ya, I think sullinger/joseph/Melo are locks for the roster....our 2012 draft class is looking good.

after that I think its a battle between Christmas and Moore for the last spot.

the good thing is, the c's now own the red-claws...so technically couldnt we sign both and have one ride the pine in Maine?

completely agree.  credit to Ty Lue for getting the C's youngsters looking like the most cohesive unit so far in summer league.

If it comes down to a final roster spot right now I would take Smith, Christmas or Joseph over JjJ. His body language is horrible. He needs to cut the too cool for school routine and start acting like a professional. Really disappointed in what I have seen from him and that is after he was given plenty of warnings in front of the media by Doc that he needed to work harder.

Announcers making exscuses for US team saying the international competition has just increased. Anyone can see that this squad is not playing well together so far- no ball movement. Coach K just wants shooters who can dunk- westbrook. Kevin Love is barely playing. I'm not his biggest fan especially for not playing Rondo. He says he diddnt want a non shooter on the floor- guess who else was a non shooter who was the PG for the dream team?-- Magic Johnson!!

Agree,  JjJ never seems to had the "urgency" attitude....I mean ...yea he might make somebodies team....but 3J dude , man you gotta get dirty , get on the floor after some balls, assert your dang self.  JJJ is to slow and not a 3 postion ball handler.  He can't take Bass's 4 job, he an't BIG or tuff enough the way he is acting.  JJJ plays a NICE game...but the NBA an't a group of NICE FOLKS out shooting hoops.  Its serious kill or be killed . Frankly he doesn't seem as serious as Williams to me.  To me JJ is TOO slow running the court, OLD WILCOX can run rings around JJJ.  He is headed to Europe sure as the world. Just don't think he has the MOTOR to make a serious team like the Celtics.

Little ol Moore is game as red rooster ... Moore and Christmas should be given a good look before cutting.  Moore already has a year under his belt and familuar with the team , and has been ON THE COURT underfire.  I think he'll be even better this year.

the thing is, if we cut Christmas or Moore, cant we offer them a contract and keep them on the Redclaws??

the C's now own the team soley so they wouldnt have any fear of losing them.

Yea ..this is lookin pretty good to me as well.   ANother Center and another guard....we should be off and running.  

I wonder if DA can keep AB on injured reserve , and keep somebody like Christmas till he returns for good . ???

Melo did some good work against the Hawks.  He threw another good pass to a fellow big.  It's always to a fellow big.  He's been good for an impressive dime a game in the summer.  It's really not a surprise.  He showed good passing vision at Syracuse.

I was most impressed by the rebounds he got.  He really blocks out before turning for the board and I thought he high pointed several rebounds very impressively.  There's no reason why he can't be a good rebounder.  After three years now of watching the Celtics get murdered on the boards, rebounds excite me.
