Celtics new additions

In case you missed it over the weekend, the Celtics made a couple of new acquisitions in order to add more depth to their bench. First, they added 6’9djwhite” Power Forward DJ White. White has played with both the Thunder and the Bobcats during his 4 years in the League. He was formally a 1st round pick out of Indiana and averages 6.8 PPG and 3.6 RPG during his career. He played the first part of this season in China where he averaged 21.6 PPG and 9.7 RPG on the season for the Shanghai Sharks. He has signed with the C’s for a 10 day contract.

Next, they went out and signed 6’10” Shavlik Randolph who shavlikplayed for Duke 5 years ago. I’m guessing we signed him to this 10 day contract strictly for his size. He has only averaged 2.4 PPG and 2.4 RPG over his career and has never racked up many minutes no matter where he has played. At least he can add some size to the line up after we traded Collins last week for Crawford. We don’t need him to score, just to clog up the middle a bit and maybe grab some boards in the mean time.

Most importantly, the Celtics offered hardworking guard/forward Terrence Williams to a multi-year contract. T-Will was on a 10-day contract with the Celts but will now be here to stay. Good for him! Even though he has only averaged 3.3 PPG, 2.3 RPG, and 1.5 APG, Terrence gives us a spark off the bench and has proven that he can score when he needs to. The Celtics will travel to Philly on Tuesday to take on the 76ers.twill

Crazy Rivalry Night

This night seemed to turn out a little bit better for my picks than usual.  #10 Kansas topped #6 Baylor 68-54.  Junior 7 foot center, Jeff Withey was able to drop 25 points on 8-10 shooting from the field.  Thomas Robinson added 15 points of his own while snagging 11 rebounds.  On the flip side, Baylor’s Perry Jones III shot 1-8 from the field and only scored 5 points against the Jayhawks.

#2 Syracuse barely escaped an upset from #11 Georgetown in an overtime thriller.  The final score was 64-61.  Syracuse senior forward, Kris Joseph, was able to put up 29 points against G-Town while Fab Melo was only able to pitch in 11 of his own.

Finally, in case you somehow missed it, #9 Duke shocked #5 UNC at the buzzer as Austin Rivers made a  3-pointer at the buzzer to give them the win, 85-84.  Doc’s son finished with a career high 29 points and the biggest shot of his career thus far.  Both Tyler Zeller and Harrison Barnes both finished with 25 and 23 points, respectively.   This was probably the most exciting game to watch this season, with an NBA-like vibe and score.

Rivalry Week Continued

As rivalry continues, we take a look at the biggest night of the week. First off, #2 Syracuse will take on #11 Georgetown. Although I think it will be a closer game than most think, I believe Georgetown can hang with the Orange, but I still think that Syracuse will win the game.

Secondly, #9 Duke plays #5 North Carolina in the biggest rivalry game of the season.  Yes, I know that they are not the highest seeds, but this is always a good game even though I despise both teams.  Duke is strong but even Coach K said that UNC is the most talented team in the country and I see them winning.

Finally, #10 Kansas looks to jump back from a loss against Mizzou when they play #6 Baylor.  I know that I picked the underdog Kansas last week and it didn’t work, but I am going to have to do it again.  I think they are strong and Thomas Robinson is one of the best players in the country.  Plus, they beat them by 18 points a few weeks ago. Yeah the Bruins are on tonight, but this will be a nice thing to flip the channel too every now and then.
