D league??

So i heard that this d league team might not be affiliated with the celtics? this makes virtually no sense. If you look geographically at where the teams are placed throughout the US there are hardly any on the east coast, especially the northeast. The current affiliate for the celtics is the Utah Flash. Why wouldn't you make there D league affiliate th ONLY team in New England where thay have a huge fanbase?!?!

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

I hope its not...

I was at the D league launch at portland high school for the launch, at the time it seemed pretty clear who was gonna be affiliated with the team. But yesterday I read this comment which sparked the post

“Jon Jennings, President/GM of the Maine D-League team, came on to post..
Doesn’t sound like the Celtics will be as closely affiliated as I previously thought..”

Does anyone know what this is about?

update

I don’t know how many of you plan on going to the D league games, but season tickets have been selling like crazy, the best sections are sold out.

Heres a link to the official site if anyone is interested….

use the promo code “usm2009” if you buy tickets, for your chance at some great prizes.
