Summer League Game #4

[EatSleepBreatheGreen]

well. i think fazekas is done...

[BudweiserCeltic]

Fazekas sucks. And Lofton too... both of them blew the game.

st half analysis...

Giddens played poorly (needs to learn to shoot). I think his days are done being a celtic. He reminds me of Allan Ray. I like Giiddens Athleticism but he got some serious ball handling and dribbling drills to work on.

Walker played good, Gabe played good, Swift??? lol Played good.


Edited
sorry no caps allowed...thanks

Giddens sprained his finger yesterday.

[BudweiserCeltic]

He had a good 2nd half.

Giddens is ok. But you seriously have to think about what the celtics would need him for. he can't create, and can't shoot (how are you suppose to back-up Paul Pierce or Ray Allen? I rather Tony Allen, hell I'll take Stackhouse when he gets bought out.

Who's Making It:

Chris Lofton or Lester Hudson
Bill Walker
Pruitt or maybe Colby Carl
That's pretty much it...

Giddens can't create?  He's been making plays left and right.  Swift and Fazekas can't hold onto the ball or they miss.  I believe he leads the team in assists (at least he did the first game).  Very unselfish player.  Not sure what you're talking about.

i like chris lofton he has been great shooting the ball the last 2 games i would like him to have a shot in training camp

He can't, really -- neither his shot, nor anybody else's. They're giving him the ball on every possession and he never looks like he knows what to do with it. He's out of control on most of his drives, and turns the ball over at a ridiculous rate.

he just thinks about everything too much. his game doesn't just come up naturally. if he could slow down and let the game come to him he'd be nasty, he also would have been a lottery pick in 06 out of Kansas.

lottery pick in 06?... three years later and he cant dominate a bunch of undrafted bums trying to make it on to a team.

Well, maybe. If you think about how Giddens plays and how Pierce plays (not that it's fair to compare a second-year player picked in the 30s to a finals MVP), you can easily see how Pierce's game revolves around getting his opponent off balance. In starking contrast, up to now Giddens looks like his game revolves around getting himself off balance -- he's all over the place on everything, drives, jump shots, layups, you name it.

He still doesn't look like he has a reliable go-to move, either. Not a good sign.

He has also gotten away with a lot of feet shuffling on his jab steps.

He does look fast though.

Walker is probably our best hope for a decent wing guy out of that group...which is to say we have no hope on that front.

Just the hope that Robert Stiff might be serviceable enough to be our 6th big...and that one of the SG's might be worth keeping around as the 13th or 14th guy on the bench.

If we decide to keep Giddens its because he's tradeable. He's still under contract untill 2012 I believe.

who remembers Demarr Johnson??? I always liked his game, don't know why he doesn't make a team. he's wayyyyyy better than Giddens and A bit better than Walker. He's basically like James Posey 6'9" or 6'10", can shoot 3's, ball handling is good, and overral shooting is good. He sucks @ defense though...lol but we need offense

Giddens signed a 2 year contract with us and was a rookie last season so I think he's an expiring contract this season.
