The Scream Heard Around the Political World: The Howard Dean Moment January 19, 2004, will forever be remembered as the day of The Howard Dean Scream - a moment that dramatically altered the course of an American presidential campaign. In the heat of the 2004 Democrat...

Lebron's "The Decision" in 2010 was such a bad decision that generated so much bad will, I'm surprised he wants to bring that back up

Lebron Decision II is like Howard Dean teased he is doing a Scream part 2 in 2025 ...

It took just one game for the Rockets to get desperate in Vanvleet's absence As the Houston Rockets enter the preseason, their biggest priority is sorting out how they will configure their backcourt in the absence of starting point guard

JD Davison with 17pts and 4 assts in 22 minutes for Houston tonight

If Celts spend 3 long yrs on him only to cut him and he becomes a good player ...

you will never hear the end of it from me, lol ... but seriously you will never hear the end of it

Apocalypse Now.

I wasn't born even when this movie came out but it was huge in the cinema scene of the 90s and early 2000s
never saw it
Regionally, there was a huge locally made doc called Hands on a Hard Body that played theatrically for 100 straight weeks in my city ... but i never saw

Any early reports out of camp about JD Davison? How has he looked? could he be in the mix with FVV's injury?

outside of the draft, on the big picture and margins, Morey has been slumping
Trading Ben for Harden when Haliburton was an option
Bungling Harden, extending Embiid who was hurt, creating max space to then use on Paul George... Yabu ... Grimes taking qualifying offer.... been a tough run imo

Morey is in the midst of an historic General Manager slump, gosh

This Celts season is setting up for tremendous excitement. For the first time, probably since ime Udoka's season, we don't even know who is starting for opening night

Exciting!

Coming into Celts camp. Im getting excited about preseason.

we have 4 proven guys & 1 semi-proven guy
JB, PP, White, Sam and then Queta

And now we find out if minott, Garza, Walsh, Baylor, Shulga, Amari are even NBA players or not

Can't wait to see the new guys!!!

I cant wait to see the Rockets start to the season at guard
The FVV injury sucks, get well FRED!

But I want to see Reed Sheppard,
I want to see Amen Thompson

&
JD Davison killed the G but never got any run in Boston, I really want to see JD Davison get on an NBA court to see whats there!!!

Last draft, Celts had 28 & 32, with a bigman need and YKN, Kalkbrenner, Broome, Raynaud, Zikarsky, Amari Williams ALL on the board.

Celts traded back to #46 w/ only Amari left on the board, & C's took Amari (I was happy)

If Celts took a center at #28, with ALL 6 bigs available, who's the pick ????

Comping Shulga to E'Twaun Moore was me being grounded, lol
the other two comps I thought of for Shulga were
Delonte West without the quirks
&
Austin Reaves

but I comped to moore to not be too optimistic and get called a green teamer, lol

*Will Richard ... but I like Shulga's ball control and passing game more than Richard's... but it is funny, that Suns jump Boston at 32 to take Fleming and then GSW jumps Boston to take Richard at 56 ... 56!!! lol ... first ever trade up from 59 to 56 ever, maybe, lol

15.09.2025 23:21 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

I was just looking back at the draft and saw that GSW traded up from 59 to 56 to pick Will Richards. ive never seen a team trade up from 59 to 56 in the entire history of the draft, lol ... that's hilarious
but also, guess BOS at 57 or CLE at 58 was going to take Richards.
I prefer Shulga tho

Problem with signing 2nd round picks to 2-ways, is lack of multi-yr control, other teams can go in and poach guys with an NBA offer sheet that you dont want to match ...

I think we will see way more offers from other teams to 2-ways who dominate the G... I bet N Faly Dante opened the flood gates

Amari Williams, unorthodox passing big with size (7-0, 260lb) and rebounding chops has the highest upside

If Amari pans out, that'd be a HUGE.

He needs basic big man coaching, but he has BIG potential

I wish C's took him #28 so they'd have more incentive to develop and more favorable contract

Reset on the Celtics players drafted in the last few yrs:
Begarin, Davison, Watson = not on the C's

Not high on Baylor/Hugo, some hope tho, but Im taking the under on rotational potential
If 2/3 Walsh, Shulga, Amari can develop, I'd take it.

Shulga's my best bet, I can see an ETwan Moore career

What are the chances we get a roster tweaking trade before training camp opens... reports all summer that C's taking offers for Simons, he was not eligible to be aggregated until 9/7 and now he is... is there gonna be any deals

or is this roster as it stands today the training camp group????

When C's hired Drew Nicholas as Director of Player Personnel, where there any interviews or quotes from team/Brad about what they liked about him. What was Nicholas's role with Nuggets (or Nets) and what moves did Nicholas play a big role in behind the scenes

zilch as far as reporting on Nicholas

Looking back at the draft, Celts get Hugo (Amari, & Shulga on 2-ways). It's an interesting haul, but it's probably imo that none of them pan out
You look back at the 19-26 part of the draft and Kaspar, Asa, Nique, Jase and Saraf ... and you wonder if we couldve found a way to trade up
