Basketball fans around the world all knew that the Celtics will be a contender in the East right before the season started. With Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen on you team, what else can go wrong? Well, there actually is one thing that can go wrong, with such good players, the chemistry of the team is at stake. And that exactly is the reason why I am writing this one - their chemistry. But no, their chemistry isn't bad, theirs is actually very very good.
This Celtic team remind me of the Sacramento days of Webber, Williams, Peja, Vlade, Christie, and the rest of the crew. The Celtics move the ball around quickly and they shoot the ball ooohh soo sweetly. Their point guard, Rajon Rondo has good court vision and so does KG (who also happens to be a great scorer). Then here's Ray Allen, a pure shooter than they can get to whenever they're in a tight spot and of course, there's Paul Pierce, the Celts' main man. There's also Kendrick Perkins at center. A great role player who's great on the defensive glass. And lastly, with players like Brian Scalabrine, who had a stint with Jason Kidd and his Nets, and James Posey, who won a ring with the Heat last 05-06 season, it's most definite that they'll seal the deal.
Having these players and this chemistry, the Celtics who currently have a 7-0 slate (Miami @ Boston pending), are championship contenders. But let's not talk finished. There are lots of great teams in the league and as the saying goes, "The ball is round." But one thing is for sure, Celtic Pride is back.
