Once again, an ex Celtic puts up big numbers and we lose. Hooray. We have no go to scoring. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Bubkiss. Zero. It is crazy. I thought it could be Sullinger but he has disappeared lately.
Additionally, can anyone tell me what our rotation is? I know we have perhaps 3 guys who could be legit starters and then about 67 rotation/bench guys but seriously what is the deal?
Oh, and Antetokounmpo who we could have picked over Olynyk continues to blow up. ESPN posted the 25 players with the most potential today. Want to know how many Celtics are on the list? None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Bubkiss. Zero.
What games is he actually blowing up in? Let me guess... you just looked at his statline last game, right? I actually watched that OKC game and he was bad. He had about 7-9pts when the game was actually close and shooting poorly. Is he playing solid overall? Sure. He isn't playing good enough to cry for him over KO. If you think he is, that's purely based on bias.
I'm not even saying he wont end up better, I'm saying this love you people have for him is funny.
One more thing... you actually believe anything they say on ESPN? They are like the FOXNEWS of sports.
I have watched a bunch of his games actually. He clearly has a much higher ceiling than KO. Are you going to say that nearly every scout, GM and analyst who have all said he is going to be special is wrong? I have the preponderance of evidence on my side on this. The C's scouted him heavily, Ainge even went to Greece to watch him. The Celtics went for the safe move. They failed. It is quite clear. You have to see it.
I have watched a lot of his games too. I have yet to say he wont be good, try reading. If I did say it, of course I would say all those people can be wrong, they have been MANY TIMES. I could go through so many people a lot of people were wrong about but it's easy enough for you to do on your own!
Now, if you think he's going to be special, that's your right... he hasn't been anything special yet. He will surely be a good player but if you're saying special, that's based on wishes and not actual play. He may end up being a great player but you are tripping hard if you have seen it thus far.
I have nothing against Giannis and I definitely would have picked him at the time b/c I had no idea about KO until we picked him. I will continue to say that as of yet, the pick wasn't bad and that Giannis has not proven it to be bad.
Matter of fact, I cheer on Giannis to be as good as you people say he will be, just so I can see how you turn on DA... it's entertaining.
