What’s good, y’all? First and foremost I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
I hope everyone is having a good, clean start of 2011. I know for me, I’m happy that it’s a new year because it’s a time where I can start things all over again. 2010 came and went and it goes to show that time really does fly when you don’t think about it. I’m ready to step into that next phase and really start planning for my future. Whatever opportunities arise, I’ll be there to take it. Can’t sit and wait for things to happen because that’s just wishful thinking. You have to seize the moment and take advantage of whatever is there.
If you haven’t noticed, I lost all my hits/views. I have to start ALL OVER again because of some situation that I won’t mention. I’ve only had my blog for about two months and I was surprised at the volume of people viewing it and where they were coming from. I had people from all across the globe viewing my blog. That’s a trip. I don’t know if it was a mistake or what not, but I hope it continues. I know if I post more on a consistent basis, I could blow up.
But, hey, it’s a new year and I’m willing to go all out with my blog now. I’m certain I’ll be able to put up greater numbers and traffic. I just need to find time to be able to do that, but I’m excited. Time to start off new and fresh. Afterall, I DO THIS FOR YOU! MY VIEWERS!
ANYWAYS… now that that’s out the way, I’m here to give…
10 Thoughts
1) The Boston Celtics are 25-7 as of now, coming off a victory over the Toronto Raptors, today. They’ve lost three out of five games since Christmas when they got their winning streak snapped by Orlando. SO MUCH FOR THAT 20 GAME WIN STREAK that I “predicted” they could extend. Never will I ever talk about a winning streak again because it seems to never go right. I’m sure the C’s don’t care about the winning streak but it’s inevitable that it’s going to be mentioned. They probably don’t want to hear it because it’ll be a distraction for their bigger picture, which is just WINNING. It’s like a pitcher throwing a no-hitter through seven innings. I’m sure if the team is aware of it, the pitcher SHOULD NOT want to know it because it’ll break their focus.
2) Remember when I said how scary the team would be if they were all HEALTHY? Well, I still believe that but the injuries the C’s have right now are really starting to worry me. Losing Kevin Garnett was a big blow and probably the one the Celtics CANNOT afford to lose for a long period of time if they have any aspiration on getting Banner #18. They’re saying he has a lower leg injury, meaning it isn’t his KNEE that we should be concerned about. He’ll be out at least two weeks. I, like the rest of Celtics fans, can only hope that it is nothing serious because without the man anchoring the team’s defense, there will be no hope.

3) Speaking of injuries, the Celtics just can’t get a break. Going into the season, it would’ve been unrealistic to think the Celtics would be healthy all year long. Every team gets dinged up, but I don’t think there’s a team out there that is as dinged up as the Celtics. AND they are still sitting atop of the Eastern Conference. That’s impressive. Semih Erden is out with nagging injuries/flu; Kevin Garnett has a leg injury; Kendrick Perkins won’t be back until either the end of January/beginning of February, Delonte West won’t be back soon, and you’ll never know about Shaquille O’Neal/Jermaine O’Neal. SIGH.
4) At least the team got Rajon Rondo back today. Even though he was rusty, as expected after missing a few weeks of games, he did well on his return. I hope his return will be a mainstay and that they didn't rush him back. If he needs to rest, let him rest. Without a healthy Rondo, their point guard position will have a GIANT RABBIT HOLE. If it wasn’t obvious enough with their recent loses, Rondo helps his teammates get to their spots easier and they have less pressure hitting shots. Healthy Rondo = happy team.
5) Celtics don’t have a nationally televised game until they play Orlando, again. Weird how they played them during Christmas, and not ONE of any games in between their rematch with them is national television worthy. San Antonio and/or Chicago would’ve been good.
6) Ray Allen’s free throw percentage is at 88%. THAT IS UNHEARD OF. UNREAL.
7) Boston: 25-7. L.A. Lakers: 23-10. That’s all that matters, right?
8) I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but I actually kind of miss Tony Allen. His defense, of course. Not his knucklehead turnovers and sloppy offensive prowess; that could stay in Memphis.
9) I have yet to go to a Celtics game since the “Big Three” formed. I’m a broke college student; you can’t blame me! Tickets aren’t even cheap anyways. I plan my days around Celtics/Red Sox games. Is that weird? I mean, isn’t that what REAL FANS do? I treat every game like it’s “must see,” which is further from the truth.
10) I love how they show Ray Allen’s mom sometimes during home games. She seems like a really cool mom. I’d love to meet her. That is, if only Delonte West doesn’t follow me.
