Who is your least favorite Celtic?

[Celtics18]

I'll get back to you after I watch the team play a few games.  It'll probably be whoever peeves me off most with their bad habits and most embodies whatever seems to be wrong with the team in the regular season this year.

But hopefully it won't be anybody!

I'll agree with that. The frontrunners for IP's least favorite Celtic after 1 weeks are Marquis (I am rooting hard that Harangody steals all his minutes..not because Marquis is so bad, but because Harangody hopefully proves he's that ready), and one of the two O'Neals, but in all honesty I've been waiting to root for Shaq my whole life, and I've never much liked Jermaine.

 

Harangody at the 3? If Luke can play the small forward position defensively, he'll be off my LFC list.

I don't NOT like BBD, but I don't like his skill set on this team. I'd rather him be on the Bulls or TWolves.

Undersized powerfowards with no athleticism and no consistent jumper, tend to be my least type of player to watch play

He has a consistant jumper. You just don’t like him cause he’s fat and silly.

I'd vote for inconsistent jumper - he's streaky - but his limited playing time and that moronic injury last season didn't help...

Still, his career FG% of just 43.7% considering how many shots are inside doesn't really support the "consistent jumper" theory - but he IS consistent wrt blocks against...

Their isn't a Celtic I don't like. Marquis is the closest thing, but that simply because I don't think he's a good fit. We have a lot of talented guys, and I think all of them are very serious about winning.

[Drucci]

I never disliked any Celtic player in recent years (although I didn't especially like TA) but as of right now I would have to say Delonte West. Maybe he'll make me change my opinion and like him this season, though, but it's not guaranteed.

[More Banners]

Great question.  Now that Sheed and TA are gone, I'm not sure what I'll be griping about this year.  I'm sure there'll be somthing...  I suppose I can count on Doc's rotations really driving me nuts, but I can't very well call Doc my least favorite, since he's proven himself to be one of the best in the business...

So...I've never liked Jermaine O'Neal.  I think as his skills have declined, he's become more of a bully/thug, even more than he was.  Remember the roundhouse punch in the open court of a fan that was (very, very stupidly) running onto the court after him?  If his back foot hadn't slipped, I swear he could have killed that idiot.  Worse is that he seems to like being a thug on the court.  Perhaps I'll still cheer for him as a Celtic, but it won't be because I like him at all.

Shaq may prove to be a bigger distraction than he's worth as a player at this point, but he's a hard guy not to like.

I'd say contenders for least favorite will be Von Wafer, Quisy, and BBD in that order.  BBD has to figure out how to get the ball up from down low or stop trying to be the post player he clearly is not.

Interesting question.

Depends if you're talking about least favorite as a person or least favorite game.

For person, it seems like the Celtics have a lot of legitimately decent guys. Von Wafer is the only one that strikes me as kind of a Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. (based on Twitter, how often he's switched teams).

For least favorite game, Sheed would have been my easy answer last year. This year I'd probably have to go with Nate or Marquis. Nate's too much of a chucker and Marquis is too passive.

[aporel#18]

funny question... I haven't disliked any Celtic player since Blount and Lafrentz, so right now it's like asking about my favorite Laker player: none.

Then, I think I'd like the Celtics to trade some players, you could say they are my least favorites. It used to be Scalabrine, but right now I don't know, after they cut the roster to 15, we'll see.

Davis
West, funny guy but it pains me to hear him speak, he graduated college?
Jermaine
in that order
Which is good since that means I don't hate any current celtic.  As posters have put I hated (and still do) Mark Blount

[slamtheking]

I dislike no one on the C's while they where the green.  I'll scream for someone to be benched or traded (like Skippy Blount, Scal, Michael Smith and Mikki Moore for example).

having said that, I really hated Shaq prior to him joining the C's.  He epitomized everything wrong with the NBA -- young player coming into the league with potential that was anointed a superstar before winning anything of importance (due to Jordan's first retirement).

Whether you like to believe it or not, you do not even need to speak to graduate college let alone speak well.  Some majors require speech classes like journalism, but a majority of them do not require any speeking classes.  Being able to communicate and speaking well are two different things.  I went to school for chemistry and chemical engineering, and we had plenty of non-native English speaking people in my classes.  They didn't speak English well at all but some of them were extremely gifted on tests, labs, writing, etc.  They graduated easily.  Being able to speak has nothing to do with graduating college, but writing definitely does.  You definitely need to be able to write (including math/science).

And by the way, I am pretty sure Delonte never graduated from St Josephs.

Who can honestly vote for anyone other than Semih Erden?

Everyone else is solid/has done what's been asked of them historically.

Thanks.  I did graduate college and have an understanding of how it works.  My point was more about college athletes and my dim view on the ncaa and college sports teams standards.  Happy to report my college soccer team's gpa was 3.0 for the entire team.  We had foreign players who spoke better english/grammar than delonte.

I honestly voted for someone other than Semih Erden.  I think that Semih will be a solid big man in the NBA. 

I'm not sold on Luke Harangody as a pro, and I feel that Von Wafer is completely superfluous on this team.  Both guys can win me over with good play, however.  I root for all Celtics.
