(what does the future hold for these 2 future Hall of Famers?)
The Celtics began there season against a team that ended there season against the Heat it was there first game against ex Celtic Ray Allen and the Heat won 120-107. They got there first win against the Wizards. The Celtics were struggling heading into a game against the Heat they were 20-23 and out of the playoff picture following the game they learned that there star player Rajon Rondo was out for the year and everyone was counting out the Celtics... again and again they were wrong as they went on a impressive 7 game winning streak before it being snapped by the talented(chuckle) Bobcats. A few more games after rookie Jared Sullinger who was having a great season went down with a season ending injury. The Celtics at the deadline would trade an injured Barbosa and a now well recognised Jason Collins for Jordan Crawford. Fast Foward a few more months and the Celtics would face the Heat in a chance to end there historic streak but ultimately falling short. The Celtics limped into the playoffs with a 41-40 record(a game against the Pacers got cancelled due to the marathon bombings.) Games 1 and 2 the Celtics had there chance at winning but terrible second halfs cost them. They got embarassed at home in game 3 and were down 0-3 and everyone was counting them out and again everyone was wrong as they won games 4 and 5 and forced a game 6 where they eventually lost.
Whew that was a workload ANYWAY the Celtics are done now and now its time to see what Danny Ainge will do. Will he get rid of KG and Pierce and start the rebuilding process? Will Rondo be gone also? Will Doc leave the Celtics and move on? Who knows whats in Ainge's mind all I hope though is that he keeps everyone together. We have a good enough team to compete if they stay healthy. Heres how the lineup would look like.
Point Gaurd: Rajon Rondo
Shooting Gaurd: Avery Bradley
Small Foward: Paul Pierce
Foward: Jeff Green
Center: Kevin Garnett
6th Man: Jason Terry
Whats not to like about that lineup? Terry should be better than last year limit KG's minutes and put in Sullinger here and there. We got a good enough squad to challenge for the division and maybe even the Heat.
Well anyway sadly this will be my last post for a while, I will post if the Celtics do any offseason moves but that won't be until probably July. Anyway before I go i'd like to share my opinions on the Red Sox and Bruins. For the Bruins well this is a series they should take against the Leafs but I do see a second round exit for them, and as for the Red Sox its still early and that sweep against the Rangers pretty much tells me there not ready to compete with the big boys....yet. Anyway good luck to the Red Sox and Bruins and good luck to Anthony and Dj and with that i'm gone.
