Sunday: Portland. Maine?
- Thread starter Lose Remerswaal
- Start date
Hey! There is ACTUALLY an important game in Portland, Maine, tonight, when the plucky Maine Celtics, led by JD the LION, take on the dastardly Long Island Nets (booooo) in the 1-game, winner-take-all G-League Eastern Conference Finals! I will be in attendance with at least 3000 other passionate Celtics fans, wearing a beloved Red Claws T-shirt, to encourage these Maine Celtics to remember their roots and attack the game like the fighting lobsters that fueled their founding!
Joke's on you. I'm from Portland, CT.
When I was a kid we had t-shirts that said "I'm from Portland, CT...NOT Portland, ME/Portland, OR/ etc (I believe there are 13 across the country?)
Red Claws was a great name. The Boston Celtics buy the team and change the name to Celtics and the only other branding change was to turn the Lobster green so it looks like an insect.
Couldn't they kept the Lobster red? Or, even, keep the nickname? The Sea Dogs stayed the Sea Dogs after becoming a Red Sox affiliate.
I wish them luck, tonight. I've had fun the few times I've been able to see them.
Oregon, Maine…Portland,Boston…its all a coin flip.

he's a guy who looks better when the defense is focused on the Jays…really limited on his own
I find it hilarious that they're admittedly dicking around at this point and still racking up Ws.
I think he's been a perfectly cromulent 10th man for much of the year, but it seemed like he just forgot how to dribble the few possessions.
Blazers announcers just brought in a "Blazers insider" who said the Celtics will win the East, unless they play the Miami Heat. In which case they will lose. So, let's finish burying this team.
Pissed my guy Toumani Camara is out for the rest of the season for the Blazers and that we didn't get to see him play vs. the Celts. He is a defensive force.
Banton was sent to PDX for a likely-not-to-convey 2nd rd pick to make room for Springer. https://www.celticsblog.com/2024/3/30/24114832/dalano-banton-dominating-since-celtics-traded-him-to-trail-blazers-portland-boston-celtics-trade
