2021 Celtics LVSL Game Thread

[HomeRunBaker]

4pm EST vs the Hawks. Get to see Sharife Cooper and Jalen Johnson.

 

[Ale Xander]

Who?

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Who?

The Hawks two draft picks.

Cooper is the PG who was projected early 20’s then intel came that something happened in his interviews/workouts. We had him in and didn’t even take him at 45 so red flags galore for mini-Morant.

Johnson was the kid who was highly regarded as a freshman at Duke, underwhelmed a bit then left the team mid season to prepare for the draft.

 

[Fishy1]

I want Pritchard taking 10 to 12 threes. Why the fuck not.

 

[cardiacs]

Summer basketball let's goooo

 

[teddykgb]

Channel?

edit: found it nbcsn

 

[shawnrbu]

Also on NBATV.

 

[SteveF]

Cooper is really, really small.

 

[shawnrbu]

Not a good start when you have 5 racks on the over.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Even the Summer Celtics can't score.

 

[osori]

WTF am I watching lol

 

[ifmanis5]

Just like the real team, slow start and can't hit open shots.

 

[Kliq]

That was ugly, but they are moving the ball and getting some decent looks.

 

[teddykgb]

I miss the Carsen Edwards who made every shot in SL

 

[SteveF]

Langford's shot still looks flat to me.

 

[shawnrbu]

Scal says he played in 5 Summer Leagues.

 

[cardiacs]

Yammy!

 

[cardiacs]

I wonder if Jabari was invited.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Nice pass by Yam.

 

[cardiacs]

wow, that is a smooth stroke

 

[Sprowl]

Madar has a quick release both inside and out. The shot blockers are close, but the ball is up before they can jump.

 

[SteveF]

Madar has certainly brought the intensity.

 

[BillMuellerFanClub]

Madar is a pest. You can tell this kid is on a mission to force Brad's hand.

 

[Fishy1]

Madar plays hard! Seems like he's laterally pretty slow so far.

 

[luckiestman]

Yam playing hard

 

[cardiacs]

that was an awesome swipe. Madar doesn't want to go back!!!

 

[SteveF]

If he plays this hard all the time they should sign him now.

 

[Fishy1]

Wow, loving this

 

[teddykgb]

The offense looks the same

This French kid looking pure in the corner

 

[SteveF]

Madar was able to get the ball into the paint for kickouts at least. Disappointed in Pritchard not being able to do the same. Romeo's shot still looks shitty.

 

[Imbricus]

Seems like he's laterally pretty slow so far.

Yeah I was noticing that. He's gonna get burned badly in the NBA if he can't stay in front of people. Some of that is probably due to his aggressiveness; he gets out of position.

 

[bgo544]

Madar has great hands and intensity on D.
Begarin looks huge! He could be a beast physically as he gets older and adds more muscle.

 

[luckiestman]

This Madar Fucker is fun

 

[Fishy1]

Yeah I was noticing that. He's gonna get burned badly in the NBA if he can't stay in front of people. Some of that is probably due to his aggressiveness; he gets out of position.

Yeah, my eyes aren't great on this stuff, but that seems right, even quicker guards will get burned a lot of the time being that aggressive. But we will see.

 

[cardiacs]

was Madar just directing PP where to go on D?

 

[bigq]

I love PP’s range.

[SteveF]

Begarin is already better on offense than Semi.

 

[Fishy1]

Langford seems like he's having a hard time getting it up

 

[luckiestman]

Carsen is no Spud Webb

 

[Just a bit outside]

Langford seems like he's having a hard time getting it up

So, we are not doing phrasing anymore.

 

[Imbricus]

I'm not seeing Langford as a point guard. I guess we can dream on that but he looks miles away at the moment.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Romeo is really disappointing.

 

[BillMuellerFanClub]

I know it's summer league, but this broadcasting team is just awful. Mannix and Scal are insufferable, and Forsberg/Chin are too much even for green teamers.

 

[teddykgb]

Cooper doesn’t seem especially fast or quick but Pritchard and a few others having a hard time staying in front of hin

 

[luckiestman]

NBA TV is low key and fine, couldn’t tell you who they are.

 

[radsoxfan]

Romeo is really disappointing.

Dont worrry, results never matter.

Just project, project, project, project with no feedback whatsoever. You get to dream on these guys for much longer that way.

Unfortunately, with that strategy, one day you’re looking for their stats and it’s more confusing when you see they’re playing in Turkey.

 

[Imbricus]

We haven't gotten much out of that #14 draft spot, have we?

We’re calling the first 10 minutes of summer league more important than actual NBA playoffs now?

Langford got to the cup once and had to run through Jordan Bell to do it. Still love his length and defensive versatility... but this Celtics team has plenty of that.

Still time.
