    I may have relayed this story before, but if not here goes! I am a huge Celtics fan! Have been since I was a kid in Cali. I became a fan at a very young age during the 1983-84 finals. I was a fan of all teams that my dad cheered for. He was cheering exceptionally hard for Boston that year. Turns out he was a fan of the Golden State Warriors, but had a shitload of money riding on the Celtics that year. This I didn't find out until years later. By then nothing could stop my love for the Celtics and my forever hatred for the Lakers! Celtics in '08 baby!!!

    what are your thoughts on Brandon Wallace?

    he played at my alma mater and signed (partially guaranteed contract) with the Celtics....any chance he'll make the team and/or possibly earn some playing time? that trade didn't hurt his chances for making the team imo.

    It would be nice to see the Celtics and Knicks have a rivalry again that involves both teams being somewhat decent.

    Perkins has zero offensive game and is perennially injured. Big baby was getting his shot rejected at an alarming pace in Vegas SL, he has no lift (at 6'9" and 877 lbs who is surprised), and I think will be too slow and heavy to succeed in the NBA.

    Now that the Celts have KG and should be good (though I think the title talk is a bit premature), there's only 2 things preventing this:
    Isiah and Thomas.

    who else is looking into season tickets this morning ;)

    Now, before you see that i'm A) Australian, and B) live in LA

    I'm a HUGE Celtics fan. Have researched all the old school guys, all the way up to the current line-up, and Paul has been my boy since he entered the league. (Have all his jerseys, HS, College, etc)

    My ONE player who i'd love to meet is Bill Russell. Period.

    Now saying that...

    WE'RE GOING TO THE EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS BABY!!!

    The NBA title will be going to a Western Conference team, the West is so much better than the East. However Boston should be able to win the East with KG. I barely watched the T'Wolves last year with KG I doubt I'll watch them at all this year, although I'm interested in seeing how Jefferson does.

    from what i saw of the summer league against portland i really liked

    he's an active kid

    skinny

    but... seems like a nice back up 3

    and him playing the 5 will help him guard big 3s or maybe even 4s

    even though it is summer league


    hey... so the celtics are trying to fuck over the fans already... i'm officially disappointed that the celtics are now going to be hard to get tix like the sox and pats



    here's my conversation from this morning through email

    LOU: hello - are there any $18 full season ticket packages? I don't see them on the website?
    CELTICS: Lou, the least expensive in the full is $25 per seat.

    LOU: Thanks for the reply. Why does the seating chart show $18 and even $15 ones listed? (See attached file: seating_chart.pdf)
    CELTICS: They are sold out

    LOU: Will there be half season and/or 10 game packages?
    CELTICS:We sold out already

    LOU: Hmmm .. I've not seen any communication about 10 game packages for the upcoming season. When did those go on sale?
    Or are they just forcing you to say that so that people will buy full
    season tickets? I understand it's a business but wow.

    CELTICS:They haven't gone on sale yet, we most likely will not have them and
    they would be in a 12 game format if anything.



    First they're sold out. Then they haven't gone on sale. And probably won't.

    The truth would of been nice in the first place


    sorry to bring this negative shit in here... i'm just annoyed



    anyway... big baby for rookie fo the year?? :)

    the celts will probably get some veteran help at minimum salary level because all of a sudden boston is a place to go to push for the ring

    rondo is gonna shine as the point guard as well
    set your laughter free

    too bad it's late in this free agent season

    although what's really out there this year


    all we need is decent play from the others and solid play from the big 3 part duex

    Yeah, he played out of position at South Carolina because of necessity. I thought he was better suited for the 4 spot, but we didn't have anyone else who could play the 5.

    I would say he's more ready to play defensively right now. His d has always been better than his offense. From his days at South Carolina, he moves his feet well, has quick hands, blocks shots well, and rebounds well. Adjusting to the 3 will take some time for him, especially on offense. But, he is a hard worker and is always looking to improve his game.

    I really hope he makes the roster. It would really help out my 'we need to fire Dave Odom' rants to other USC fans ;) but that's for another time and another thread :)

    Ok, it's time this bullshit about the Western Conf. being SO much better!! The previous champ, west, before that east, before that, west, before that, east. Hmmmmm.... that doesn't seem so dominating.
