Suck the Fun Out of It

[ManchesterCelticsFan]

Here's what's missing from this season: Where's our Marty Conlon? Brett Szabo? Where's our Acie Earl? Thomas Hamilton? Where's our Brian Scalabrine?

It seems like this years C's have no players that are so goofy looking, with a goofy game, that it makes me want to root for them, even though they suck and the team sucks. There are no players that make me want to purposely brick a shot when I'm shooting hoops for fun, pretending I'm him. If the C's are still rebuilding next year, Danny Ainge has to bring in another player or two like these, for this reason. It makes sucking more fun.

Sorry, one got traded and the other one is out for the season. But you can root for Olynyk and his frog-like finishing move.

We had Fab Melo

But he was even to awful to retain as a mascot

[Roy H.]

You can root for Pressey, and hope he misses some shots to get his FG% back below 30%.

So are we going to pretend Scalabrine wasn't hated until we won the Championship and he gave that epic speech? is that what we're doing now? You only like those players when your winning. Otherwise, they are just another point of frustration.

I liked Scalabrine when the Celtics were losing and winning. They're tons of guys on the Celtics now I root for.

Crawford had a good nickname..."Steez"....he played kinda like his shorts were on fire. Rondo has no look passes, but Crawford....he had no look shots. Where you gonna get a guy who jacks a shot without looking where it's going? That's quirky.

All that stuff classifies Jordan Crawford as the mascot. Stevens left him in for like 45 minutes a game...he fits. The Celtics had a better win % with him at PG that they have with the other guys. Steez got our home town team into first place in the freakin' east for like a week. First place and we owe it to Crawford and his 158 three point attempts. If he was still starting for the Boston Celtics we'd be the seventh seed...

I wonder What Brandon Spikes has to say about that.

Also Crawford was super fun. Love Steez.

How does Kelly Olynyk not meet all of your criteria?  Dude looks ridiculous.  He needs to cut his hair.

I think KO fails the "goofy game" criterion. He's pretty smooth for someone his size.

He wins on "goofy looking" though. No question about that.

Yeah.  Some of his moves inside are a little funny looking, but overall I agree, he has a smooth game.  I enjoy watching it.  He's much more agile and coordinated than you expect from a guy that size.

While Olynyk's game is surprisingly efficient, his moves are as goofy as they come.
