C’s Squeeking By?

Obviously, we learned last year that no one should count the Celtics out early. They were awful at the beginning of last season and still made it to game 7 against the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals. However, we barely beat the Wizards, and lost against the Bucks, two teams that we should beat night in and night out. Pierce is playing incredible, Rondo’s defense has gotten stronger, and KG is always reliable, even after a tough shooting game on Saturday.

The biggest thing to note is the way these new players are mending together. Doc said that he needs to find a way to mix and match the second unit better. He started doing this by putting Jared Sullinger into a starting role, in which he played great. You can tell that he is still young and needs to work, but he has to be ahead of where most rookies are at this point in their careers.

Personally, I am not worried about the C’s this season, and neither should you. We have so much depth and about 7 people that can put up double digits on any given night. Once they get going, they are going to be a tough team to stop.  Next up is the Wizards again on Wednesday at home. Hopefully we have this game won before 28 seconds in the 4th quarter.

ADD Post of the Week – Election Day 2012

With not too much going on in the world of Boston of sports, here’s a little something to keep you distracted. Introducing the first ever ADD Post of the Week.

Elections are rapidly approaching and I still have no idea who to vote for. My gut tells me to support Obama. Why? Because for one, I’m not racist. Two, the poor guy was left with a shit storm to try and fix after good ole Bush left us in a dutch oven for the past 4 years with his lingering crap. For those of you that don’t know what a dutch oven is, I recommend looking it up and giving it a try. If you enjoy it, don’t worry you are not alone. But any who, don’t get me wrong. I’d love to get wild with Bush, who wouldn’t? Dude knows how to party like the best of em, but he can barely talk let alone run a country. That being said, cocaine is one hell of a drug, and doing it keeps your chances alive for becoming president. Can’t blame the guy though, he was part of a fraternity in the 80’s and if you said no to some blow back then, you had issues. No one likes a party pooper. Now I don’t do coke and never have, but I’m not pro-sober, and if watching the movie “Blow” doesn’t make you seriously contemplate getting in touch with your friendly neighborhood drug dealer then we probably can’t be friends.

Before I go off a drug tangent, my thoughts on Mitt Romney go as follows…Can’t stand his face, looks like the kind of guy that would steal your car, crash it, then hook up with your sister for good measure. I think he just lives in a fantasy world where everyone is loaded. The biggest dilemma facing them is that they can’t find a certain year of some fancy wine and now they’re going to be the laughing stock of their boring ass banquet. People are miserable out there and I honestly don’t think he cares. However, we are, at the present time, China’s bitch. We owe them so much money and eventually they are going to put down their tea cups and come after us. Obama has proven he’s no Donald Trump when it comes to money, but on the other hand, Romney has done pretty well when it comes to raking in the Benjamins. This makes me think that he could be the answer to that problem. After all, America is the land of the free and the home of the big douchey business man, so if that’s the case we should keep riding that train. I mean the whole world hates us and thinks we’re a bunch of arrogant assholes, so why not put Romney in office and embrace that image?

Sixth-Man Votes

Jason Terry has been voted as the most likely sixth-man award winner for this NBA season. JET received 11 votes, while Jamal Crawford earned 8. Ray Allen even got 4 of his own. Even Jeff Green was voted for once, even after his rough first game back.

With reigning sixth-man award winner James Harden starting for the Houston Rockets now (scored 37 points and added 12 assists in his debut), the field is wide open. Jason Terry has already won it once before while with the Dallas Mavericks. Leandro Barbosa even won it when he was with the Suns, and if he plays like he did in the first game, he could be a big surprise. But I’ll give my vote to Jason Terry because if he can help get us over the Miami obstacle, he will be seen as one of the key factors since we lost to them the past two seasons.

KG Gives Ray the Cold Shoulder

KG’s reaction to Ray Allen’s attempt at making peace was easily the best part of last night’s game. Would of been great to get win, but the fact that KG stuck it to Ray like this is just great. I wish Doc Rivers did the same. As far as I’m concerned, whatever positive memories I had of Ray Allen as a Celtic died when I saw him wearing a Heat Championship warmup during pregame.

Well opening night didn’t exactly go the way we wanted, but hey, it’s only game one. At least Celtic’s basketball is back. So here’s to the NBA season starting on time! Similar Posts You’ll Enjoy

C’s Drop Opening Night

As expected, both Lebron James and Dwayne Wade score in the high 20’s while Lebron recorded his first double-double of the season (26 points, 10 rebounds). One of the most painful things to watch was Ray Allen dropping 19 points on his former team. Ray played 2 more minutes than Lebron in this game, which no one expected would happen.

On the other side, KG struggled for 9 points, but was able to add 12 rebounds. Paul Pierce played amazing in the first half and ended with 23 points while Rondo added 20 points and 12 assists of his own. The biggest surprise was Leandro Barbosa dropping 16 in only 16 minutes while going 3-3 from 3 point range. The newest acquisition already showed that he deserves to be here.
