least favorite Celtic of all time

[TatteredOnMySleeve]

1. Antoine Walker by far.  Hated the way he played and the whole team was based around his annoying game.  To a lesser extent because the roles were smaller- 2. Blount for obvious reasons. 3. Tony Battie because he seemed so freaking wimpy next to Potompeko.

Tony Battie? I liked Battie, and the fact that he played a role in saving paul pierces life, he shouldnt even be considered on this listt,

Gary Payton

Maybe Paul wouldn't have even gone out that night if not for Battie and his brother.

Lol, I seriously doubt that, I highly doubt they had to drag paul out that night, if anything the other way around.. Paul is a partier

Olowokandi was the greatest, only because after his first year here, they told him they weren't interested in bringing him back.  And the dude shows up to camp anyway on his own and somehow ended up on the roster for another season.  Tremendous

I hated Mark Blount !!! What a jerk he turned out to be. As of late throw Gary Payton in there too. I would also add Kedrick Brown, just cause he sucked so much

Oh and forgot Pervis Ellison he was sucha  lazy ****, made Olwakandi look like an over achiever

Hey, Pervis was a Captain...so he had that going for him

[moiso]

I forgot Pervis was a captain.  Thats kind of crazy!  It would have really been a joke if had an extra big letter "C" on his jersey like Varitek.  The other teams would have been cracking up in the layup lines.

[slamtheking]

tough call. 

non-player: Pitino hands down.  Even as a RI-native grateful for the PC final four run, I still think he's a scumbag.

almost-player: Jon Barry--what Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.bag wouldn't want to come to the Celtics as a draft pick? 

Player: tie between Blount for giving up after getting his contract and Michael Smith for being a complete waste of a high draft pick (and being picked before Tim Hardaway too).  Kills me to think of Red comparing him to Bird.

That was one of the silliest things ever.  I guess Pitino figured giving him a label might inspire him or make his teammates respect him or something.  Maybe Ricky just picked names out of a hat.

Dee Brown was one of the three captains too, who was the 3rd?

Can I vote for Lucky?

Zan Tabak.  Just kidding, it was Antoine.

Was this PRE-PIERCE?  If It was, I agree with you.   But also remember that it's on the coach(which was the Ricktator at the time) to have a solid gameplan that gives the team the best chance to win.  Toine was given too much responsibility and too much leeway on the court and that, once again, falls on the Coach.  

It really ticks me off how Pitino fooled us all back then when we were desperate for SOMETHING positive and he just took a whizz on this franchise along with his spaghetti sauce or whatever it was.

Wally and Blount

Easily Raef LaFrentz.

He represented a total downfall for the Celtics and ridding the team of by far my favorite player (possibly of all time) in Antoine Walker. Anyone with any sense had to know that a big, slow dope like LaFrentz wasn't going to be good and his contract was atrocious (like 5 years 65 mill).

I understand people wanted Walker out of town, and while I totally disagreed with that concept, I more disagreed with the player we got in return. When I had heard we traded Antoine to Dallas, I was like, "well, at least we are getting Jamison in return", but when I found out it was Raef, I nearly dropped dead.

This was really the beginning of many many many bad moves made by Danny- yes, draft included (Al Jeff and Rondo fell into his lap, no one else has been THAT impressive). He was able to save himself with the magic of it all in the Summer of 07, but don't tell me that Raef was all part of the plan (and Jiri Welsch was not enough additional compensation). We could have gone for Ratliff much earlier or even better, traded for an expiring contract.

All these memories coming back to life- really angers me...heck, at least we are good now...
