In the Comments from the Other Side after the Nets game, this one comment was my favorite.
Notice how every...EVERY...Celtics player is looking in the paint when they have the ball …they almost expect to find someone open or in a good position.How great is that? Every Celtic looks in the paint when they have the ball like they expect to find someone in good position. And the truth is, the way they run and space the floor, they usually do find someone open. If you watch the Rondo highlights in today's videos, you'll see how many times players got layups because someone (usually Rondo) zipped them a pass in good position.
I really love every player on this team. I don't want Danny to trade a single one. I'd love to see all these young guys develop into stars as Celtics, and I think they will. Sully and Kelly are close to being stars now. It won't take Marcus Smart to get there either. I'd rather build with these young players and watch some exciting basketball while we are doing it than to trade them away for another 2 or 3 year window as a contender.
When the schedules came out I was amazed that the Celtics had no national TV appearances. I mean, just for the fact that the Celtics are the most storied franchise in the league and they have a very loyal fan base, they should have at least a few games on national TV. On the other hand, even though they are expected to be even worse than the Celtics, in spite of having an aging Kobe Bryant, the Lakers are scheduled to be on National TV a whopping 28 times. It seems that I'm not the only one who thinks this is a bit overkill. Charles Barkley agrees with me.

Finally, I'm so sad to see what is happening to the Thunder. Since Perk was traded there, they have been my second favorite team. I watch all their games, even if sometimes I have to catch them the next day if the Celtics are also playing or if it's a late game. First it was Kevin Durant going down, and then they got hit with a ton of injuries to their reserves including Mitch McGarry (broken foot), Grant Jerrett (ankle surgery), Anthony Morrow (strained knee. Last night, Russell Westbrook suffered a broken bone in his hand. Maybe Russ should call Rondo for some fast healing tips. The hits just keep coming for that poor team. Get well soon guys!
Next up are the Houston Rockets on Saturday night at 8:00 PM ET. Win or lose, I'm looking forward to another hard fought game from the Celtics.

This is a very fun team. They seem to have great chemistry as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! They definitely are fun to watch. And they the chemistry so far has been great. I love how when one of the players is being interviewed after the game the others are always coming by and tapping him or rubbing his head or hugging him. They genuinely seem to like each other off the court as well.
