What’s happening, y’all? Hope everyone’s well. Back again for like the 11th time? I need to get into a habit and post more often but things just don’t work out that way! I run a reckless schedule and it doesn’t seem to benefit me in any way. But, what’s the fun in that if everything goes well? NOTHING!
I’m in dire need of a change. I feel like my blog is kind of plain and it could definitely use an upgrade. I should work on it a little more, don’t you think? I also think if I’m going to write reviews/thoughts on whatever subject, I should make some sort of “catchy” motto or something. You would like that, right? RIGHT? Maybe a banner or something flashy would do. If anyone is good with HTML out there and wouldn’t mind helping, holler at your boy! For serious!
Anyways…
Now that that’s out the way, it’s time to give some thoughts on the Boston Celtics. Which leads me to?
YOWWWWWWZER!
10 Thoughts
1) The guys in green are arguably the hottest team in the NBA right now. Aside from the Miami Heat who are also scorching with a 12-game win streak and finally finding team chemistry, the C’s stand at 21-4 after 25 games; are at a 12-game winning streak of their own, and doing so with the team UNHEALTHY. Delonte West is out indefinitely with a broken wrist; Kendrick Perkins isn’t due back until January/February; Rajon Rondo will miss about a week or two with a sprained ankle and stingy hamstring; Shaquille O’Neal hasn’t played in over a week but may be coming back soon; and Jermaine O’Neal hasn’t played in about a month. I can’t stress this enough but IF and WHEN the Celtics are all healthy come playoff time, this will be one scary team.
2) With all the bigs that are injured right now, how great has Semih Erden been playing the past couple of games? The more I watch this man play, the more I love him and his game. He has filled in admirably and is playing some important minutes. The best thing about him? HE ISN’T TOTALLY HEALTHY, EITHER! He’s wearing that scrubby, one-sleeved t-shirt that we see most college players wear. The man’s shoulder isn’t in the best condition, but he’s grinding it out. He’s got soft hands and has great vision when catching the ball. He’s really important to the team right now and losing him in any way would be catastrophic. It’s impressive how he’s adapting to the NBA when he can’t speak a lick of English. Kudos to you, Mr. Erden.

3) Another man who has been stepping up BIG is Glen “Big Belly” Davis (as I like to call him). Too bad the league doesn’t categorize taking “charges” as a major statistic because we all know he’s leading it. “Big Baby” is growing up before our eyes and is making a strong case to become the 6th man of the year.

5) With Rajon Rondo out for at least a week, I would like to see Avery Bradley play some serious minutes when subbing for Nate Robinson. I know Doc Rivers is probably hesitant to play Bradley because he’s unproven and rightfully so. I read that he’s more of a combo guard than anything; he’s got an ok jump shot and plays terrific defense. Now would be a good time to incorporate some of his skills and see what this kid really has to offer.
6) Going back to Rondo, I hope the C’s don’t rush him back. Let him take the necessary time to fully recover. The last thing the Celtics need is for him to come back prematurely and reinjure himself and BUDDHA FORBID it being a serious one. Paul Pierce will probably be being playing more of a point-forward going on. It’s not worth it for Rondo to come back short term and then lose him to another injury LONG TERM. He’s key on the Celtics getting back to the Finals. As Charles Barkley said about Rondo: “He is the engine that stirs the drink.” LULZ.

7) So their win streak is at 12 right now. Is it crazy that I think they can get it to 20? I mean look at their upcoming schedule. They’re playing Indiana, Philadelphia, Orlando (who just had a trade with Phoenix/Washington), Indiana (again), Detroit, New Orleans, Toronto, and then Minnesota. These are eight winnable games that they SHOULD win. Then again, we all know what happened there… *OKC and TORONTO*
8) How ironic is it that the “Big Three” are seemingly the healthiest out of the whole team? Whodathunkit? Who said age matters! In all seriousness, I hope they stay that way. HOPE.
9) Luke Harangody is basically the Brian Scalabrine of today. Why must they always pick on the white guy! At least this time he’s just white and not a ginger because we all know they don’t have souls. Kidding. Or am I?
10) MARQUIS DANIELS. ENOUGH SAID. #beleedat.
Have a wonderful day!
