If that's his highlights, we'll be missing Walker and Giddens very quickly.

I don't think Landry can cover as much bench as those two guys.

And he certainly can't  cover as much bench as Sweetney.

Wow I almost forgot about him! TP

All I have to say about this is let the "Why isn't Doc playing this kid with boundless talent and potential to develop him?" threads commence

They can't be far off

I thought this was a post about Sean Williams. But he's no Marcus Landry....

Might as well sign Rob Kurz from the D-league.

  • Doc could learn a thing or two from Norman Dale
I liked this sentence:

Quote
I see him as a Posey/Pierce combo if his defense gets to the level of Posey's and offensive package gets near to the level of Pierce's.

It's like saying, "I see Scal as a Shaq/Hakeem combo, if he develops the post moves of Hakeem and the explosive athleticism of Shaq". 

I'm not trying to mock, it just gave me a chuckle.  I wasn't sure if it was meant tongue in cheek or not.

He's like a 5 tool player in baseball that just needs to develop his power hitting, hitting for average, running, throwing and fielding

Well this proves it. I am convinced. Landry is definitely an upgrade Giddens..... ;D

We haven't covered this:

Was Giddens the worst player in Celtics history?

Sweetney over flowed the bench. When part of you is hanging over the bench, time to but down the sweets, even if your name is SweetKnees.

Marcus Landry definitely deserves to get the starting spot over Pierce, look at the kid, not only does he have tremendous potential and athletic abilities, but he comes up early to work on his game! :o :o



Doc should be fired if he doesn't play him tonight. ;)

As much as we joke, I think Landry is going to become my new binky. Haven't had one since Gerald, so I am pretty excited about this acquisition.

Joke and sarcasm from my previous post aside, Landry is apparently a big fan of Ray and is really excited to play "alongside him" (although we all know he probably won't play alongside him, other than in practice).

Per the Celtics's twitter :

Marcus Landry says he grew up in Milwaukee and watched Ray Allen play when he was a kid. Excited to play alongside him.

update, misquote, he actually said "Excited to carry his bags"
