Wow, where the hell have I been? Haha, I’m so sorry. I’M SORRRRRRRY! Another lay off. I know, not cool. My apologies.
10 Thoughts
1) I wanted to wait a couple of weeks after the whole “trade deadline” died down a little. The Boston Celtics are officially filled with 15 players. It’s amazing how decimated with injuries this team had become. The team didn’t start the season with everyone healthy. When it seemed like everyone was on their way back into the team, someone else goes down. I’ve mentioned in previous posts on how scary this team would’ve been if everyone were healthy. And I still believed it. Guess that theory will never be put into fruition.
2) JEFF GREEN. Six games in, and he has shown what he is capable of. He’s such a versatile player and I think he’s going to become a favorite here in Boston. Funny how the Celtics traded Jeff Green, a draft pick (which ended up being Glen Davis), Delonte West, and Wally Szczerbiak for Ray Allen a couple years ago. Now, they have 4/5 of them. People are comparing him to a “James Posey” type of player. Can play the 3 and 4 positions well. Has low post moves and can shoot from behind the arc. Yeah, I guess you can say he’s like James Posey offensively. Still unsure about his defense, though.

3) NENAD KRSTIC. Wow, my expectations of this guy were very low when the C’s got him. Surprisingly, he has become a very bright spot and is nowhere near a “thrown in” deal when he got traded alongside Jeff Green for Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson. He’s got a nice 15-17 feet jumper and can rebound the ball well. Kendrick Perkins wishes he had an offensive game. The only thing people are concerned with is his “toughness.” The look on his face and demeanor does not scream “toughness” at all. Someone tell him his dog died or something so he can express some sort of EMOTION!
4) TROY MURPHY. I only knew this guy when he was with the Indiana Pacers. Other than that, I don’t have much clue on what this guy is going to bring to the Celtics. Hopefully he’s just a body to throw at the Power Forward/Center position to give some of the other guys rest.
5) SASHA PAVLOVIC. Have never liked the guy. I don’t know if it was because he played for Cleveland or because he seems to miss just about every shot he takes. Or maybe because his first name is SASHA? Can’t take anyone serious if their first name is SASHA (ala Sasha Vujacic). He’s got decent size, at least. Only 27-years-old, too. I don’t know, maybe he’ll change my perception of him if he actually contributes something to the team.
6) CARLOS ARROYO. Never liked this guy, either. Has really no defensive presence and is suspect on “O.” At least he’s probably going to sub for Rajon Rondo come playoff time. Sorry, Avery Bradley.
7) I think Shaquille O’Neal forgot he’s still on the Celtics team.
8) How Jermaine O’Neal is still on this team makes me mad. REALLY MAD. GRRRRRRRRR. >:(
9) Bye, Kendrick Perkins. Bye, Nate Robinson. Bye, Luke Harangody. Bye, Semih Erden. Bye, Marquis Daniels. You will never be forgotten!!!
10) In honor of a fallen soldier, I salute Marquis Daniels. This will be the last time I’m ever doing it: #BELEEDAT. I WILL NEVER STOP BELEE’ING! :(
Until next time... hopefully soon... haha.
