Celtics Lab 212: Projecting Boston’s 2023-24 campaign with Trevor Hass

With the 2023 offseason rapidly drawing to a close as training camps are now weeks rather than months away, we can begin to project how the 2023-24 season will go for Boston and their peers,

The Boston Celtics are nearly done building their team for the 2023-24 season, with one or perhaps two more signings for deep rotation players still left undone. But for all intents and purposes, we have a pretty good idea about the team that the Celtics will be fielding for their campaign to come, and similar assessments can be made about most of the other teams in the NBA for the season ahead.

With the 2023 offseason rapidly drawing to a close as training camps are now weeks rather than months away, we can begin to project how the 2023-24 season will go for Boston and their peers, so to that end, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast linked up with Celtics Blog’s Trevor Hass to try and predict how the Celtics’ season will go at a granular level.

We also get into the search for that last player or two Boston is currently in the thick of, and some other news of interest still percolating up this late in the month of August.

Would Glenn Robinson III be a good fit for the Boston Celtics?

Robinson’s shooting, especially at the rate from his time with the Golden State Warriors, could be a helpful deep bench option.

Despite veteran wing Glenn Robinson III’s absence from the NBA since 2021, the Boston Celtics are intrigued by his potential, inviting him in for a workout according to SNY’s Ian Begley.

Robinson’s shooting, especially at the rate from his time with the Golden State Warriors, could be a helpful deep bench option and he is also a solid if unremarkable defender. The former Dubs reserve shooting guard will have to beat out the likes of TJ Warren, Louis King, and Lamar Stevens to secure a roster spot with the Celtics, however, as word has surfaced that Boston has worked out several other wings for the team as well.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast sat down to talk over their thoughts in which free agent Boston ought to sign.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.

Every player in Philadelphia 76ers history who has worn No. 31

Here is a list of all 15 players who have worn the No. 31 uniform in the history of the Philadelphia 76ers.

It’s summertime in the NBA, so it’s time to learn some history. The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the older franchises in the NBA. Their history dates to the 1949-50 season.

With that longevity, the team has had hundreds of players come through the City of Brotherly Love. Sixers Wire looks at the No. 31, which has been worn by 15 of those players in the history of the franchise.

This running series will go through all of the uniform numbers worn in franchise history. The previous edition of this series was a list compiling the two players who have worn the No. 32.

Here is the list of those 15 players who have worn No. 31 in Sixers history:

List of the sidekicks Sixers employed next to superstar Allen Iverson

Here is a list of the sidekicks the Philadelphia 76ers employed next to superstar Allen Iverson during his era.

When one remembers Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson, one will remember two things: his elite scoring ability and his willingness to put his body on the line every night and play through injury in order to help his team win.

Iverson averaged 27.6 points and 6.1 assists in his career for Philadelphia and he ended up winning four scoring titles. He won an MVP award in 2001 and he led the team to the NBA Finals in 2001.

What was even more impressive about Iverson’s run in 2001 was that he did so without a bonafide sidekick next to him. Philadelphia struggled to find the right Robin to Iverson’s Batman all throughout his career as they made moves that were expected to help The Answer get the Sixers to the top and Sixers Wire is going to list the sidekicks Iverson had in Philadelphia.

On this day in 1994, the Milwaukee Bucks selected Purdue forward Glenn Robinson with the first overall pick in the NBA Draft, before a crowd of 19,833 at the Hoosier-Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Robinson played two seasons for the Boilermakers before making the jump to the NBA. He was named the 1994 National College Player of the Year after averaging 30.3 points, which led the country, and 10.1 rebounds as a sophomore.

Robinson averaged 21.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 80 games played as a rookie with the Bucks. He led all rookies in scoring in his first season but would eventually finish third in the Rookie of the Year voting, behind Jason Kidd and Grant Hill, who shared the award.

Robinson played 11 seasons in the NBA before retiring in 2005 and eventually became a two-time All-Star and champion with the San Antonio Spurs. He is the father of Philadelphia 76ers forward Glen Robinson III.

Injury Report: Warriors will be without two starters vs. Orlando Magic

As the Golden State Warriors try and break their 10-game losing streak, the team will be without Draymond Green and Glenn Robinson III against the Magic.

As the Warriors trudge through their longest losing streak of the 2019-20 NBA season, things aren’t getting any easier in Golden State. Core pieces like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney have all missed almost 30 games this season. It doesn’t stop there, as the hits keep coming to the Golden State rotation.

Jacob Evans III recently entered the NBA’s concussion protocol after a hit to the face against the Dallas Mavericks, and now, two more members of Golden State have been ruled out against the Orlando Magic.

Both Draymond Green and Glenn Robinson III will miss the battle against the Magic due to injury as their team tries to snap a losing streak.

Green has missed nine games this season with a heel and foot injury; he will now be scheduled to miss his tenth game due to a finger sprain. According to Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, Green suffered the finger sprain Thursday against the Denver Nuggets.

Green will join the Warriors contingent on the bench along with Robinson III, who is dealing with an ankle sprain. Robinson III is enjoying a breakout season in Golden State with his best ability being availability during the 2019-20 season.

Robinson III has started every game for Golden State except once this season and has made the most of his opportunity. The Michigan Wolverine product is averaging 12.3 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, both doubling his career average.

Lessening the blow of losing two starters, the Warriors have opted to bring up two-way contract guard, Ky Bowman. Bowman is nearing the end of his 45-day NBA limit on his two-way contract, but with the Warriors dealing with so many injuries, they have no other choice but to play the guard.

Without Robinson III and Green, Kerr will have to rely heavily on D’Angelo Russell for scoring, and Omari Spellman inside. With the team missing both Looney and Green, Marquese Chriss, who recently rejoined the squad on a two-way contract, could get an increased role.

Warriors veteran says rookie Jordan Poole ‘got his swag back’

Jordan Poole had his third straight double-digit scoring performance and Glenn Robinson III thinks the Warriors’ rookie ‘got his swag back.’

During the Warriors’ 10-game losing streak, a bright spot has been the solid play of the team’s first-round draft pick, Jordan Poole. The Michigan Wolverine product took a quick detour to the Warriors’ G League affiliate in Santa Cruz. However, since being back in San Francisco, Poole has put together one of his best stretches of the season.

Poole has scored double digits in each of his past three games, shooting 43.8 % from the field and 42.9 % from beyond the arc. A massive improvement in comparison to the rookie’s dreadful start to the season.

In a loss to the Denver Nuggets, Poole provided the Warriors an early spark, hitting back-to-back 3-pointers to give Golden State the lead in the first quarter. Golden State couldn’t close out the game, but the first-year player’s performance impressed one veteran.

Glenn Robinson III spoke after the game and told the media that he’s happy to see Poole regain his confidence, while dropping a nickname for the rookie.

It’s great to see the young guys playing well — J.P; I told him he got his swag back — I started calling him ‘Microwave’ again, that’s his nickname — I call him ‘Wave.’

Robinson told the media that he knows Poole has what it takes to stick around the NBA, especially when he’s getting the Chase Center’s San Francisco crowd into it.

I’m glad to see able to him play —I know he’s an NBA player —I know he can stick in this league — to see him really find his role and he’s at his best when he keeps it simple knocking down shots — then he could get the crowd into it — that’s what he does best, he’s a great player.

Robinson III discusses the play of Poole at 2:00 in the link below.

With Jacob Evans in the NBA’s concussion protocol, Steve Kerr will have to continue to rely on Poole in the backcourt. With the rookie’s steady play of late, it’s an easy decision.
