Celtics As Office Cast Members

Post a Comment
If there's three things in the world I love it's The Celtics, The Office and Comparing Things. So why not pour them all into a big, stinky pot and play a little game I like to call, "Which Celtic Is Most Like Which Office Character". Sound like fun? You betcha!
Doc Rivers = Michael Scott
Neither man has any business holding the position he does, but despite their flaws each oversees a successful, fully operational "team".
Shared Quote: "...they just don’t get very much work done when I’m not here. [pauses] That’s not true. I know how to delegate, and they do more work when I’m not here. Not more…the same amount of work is done whether I am here or not…"
Paul Pierce = Dwigh Schrute
In each episode/game, they have a handful of moments which make you cringe and shake your head. They're unpredictable, slightly crazy, but always manage to come through with one or two clutch moments (whether it be a big shot or a big laugh). Also, both think they're the best and desperately want to be Number One.
Shared Quote: "How would I describe myself? Three words: hard working, alpha male, jackhammer…merciless…insatiable…"
Kevin Garnett = Ryan Howard
Both are intense, take their jobs a little too seriously, and managed to completely overhaul the way their organization handles day-to-day operations (whether it be computerization or defense-first gameplay).
Shared Quote: "Convergence. Viral marketing. We’re going guerilla. We’re taking it to the street while keeping an eye on the street (wall street). I don’t want to reinvent the wheel here. In other words, it is what it is. Buying paper just became fun."
Ray Allen = Pam Beesly
Quiet. Consistent. Versatile. You know what type of production to expect from them. They don't try to do too much, and the entire operation wouldn't run nearly as smooth without their presence.
Shared Quote: "So you would be the Regional Manager and the Assistant Regional Manager, Andy is your number two, I would be the secret Assistant Regional Manager..."
Rajon Rondo = Kelly Kapoor
Yes, they're both short, but it's their ability to annoy, bother and just flat-out pester everybody around them that makes these two a match. They each only possess one speed, fast, and while they're still trying to figure out exactly where they fit in, they have some shining moments where they really step up.
Shared Quote: "So then the next movie moves to the top of the queue. So number five becomes number four. Number six becomes number five. Number three becomes number two. Etcetera, etcetera. And let's just say that I just sent back Love Actually, which was awesome. And they sent me Uptown Girls, which is also awesome. But guess what? Now I want to see Love Actually again. But it's at the bottom of the queue! Oh no, what'll I do? What I do is this. I go online, I go "click, click, click," and I change the order of the queue so that I can see Love Actually as soon as I want to. It's so easy, Ryan. Do you really not know how Netflix works?"
Kendrick Perkins = Kevin Malone
They're both big, oafish and usually blend in the background, overshadowed by the bigger names. Despite that, they always provide a solid performance and an honest day's work.
Shared Quote: "In general they do not give me much responsibility, but they do let me shred the company documents and that is really all I need."
James Posey = Jim Halpert
Not only do they share a name, but both have managed to come in/back to a new situation, work their asses off, gain the respect of their co-workers, and put themselves into a position where they play an integral part of the company's success.
Shared Quote: "I ate a tuna sandwich -- on my first day -- so Andy calls me ‘Big Tuna’. I don’t think any of them actually know my name…"
Scot Pollard = Creed Bratton
They're both old and creepy and no one is quite sure what they do around the office...
Shared Quote: "I’ve been involved in a number of cults both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower but you make more money as a leader."
Brian Scalabrine = Andy Bernard
Both are absolute trainwrecks as human beings, but somehow they manage to keep themselves endearing.
Shared Quote: "I am okay if I lose every single contest today. Honestly. Because I see these contests as an opportunity for me to demonstrate what a good sport I am."
Eddie House = Angela Martin
Both are small, wear a scowl, never seem happy and are quite streaky.
Shared Quote: "Sometimes the clothes at the Gap Kids are just too flashy so I'm forced to go to American Girl and order clothes for large Colonial dolls."
Leon Powe = Stanley Hudson
Both are large men who always seem to be sitting down.
Shared Quote: "I wake up every morning in a bed that’s too small, drive my daughter to a school that’s too expensive and then I go to work to a job for which I get paid too little. But on Pretzel Day? Well, I like Pretzel Day…"
Tony Allen = Toby Flenderson
Both seem to disappear for periods (whether it be because of injury or the writers didn't know how to add you).
Shared Quote: "I got Angela. She’s into these posters of babies dressed as adults. I got her one of those. I felt…kinda weird buying that." [yeah, I had nothing here...]
Glen Davis = Darryl Philbin
They're the big, strong blue-collar guys who bust their butts and do the heavy lifting. They don't mind getting their hands dirty and work down-low (or down in the warehouse) where the real men play.
Shared Quote: "That’s what we been trying to tell you Mike. It’s serious down there. We do dangerous stuff man. [You] Live a sweet little nerfy-life sitting on your biscuit never having to risk it."
