That's true. Maybe Rondo will average a triple double, too.

And don't forget that green will put up 20+ a night.

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Our offense was putrid for much of last year.  Were we watching the same team? ;D  I thought that it was the other way around, quite honestly.  Yeah, there were actual basketball plays :o at times, especially at the beginning of the year, but most of the time it was tough to watch.

At the beginning of the year, yes.  Towards the end of the year when Olnyk started coming on, and Pressey started learning to score, and especially when AB was playing well this team looked great at times offensively.  Furthermore, the style of offense that Brad Stephens runs is very pleasing to the eye and fun to watch.  I really enjoyed watching this team at the end of last year.

Like I said, I enjoyed it in spurts, because it obviously wasn't always there, but for the most part I really didn't see anything other than Sully taking 3s, which ticked me off, haha, and an overdose on the pick and roll, but I guess that that's what everyone is doing these days, triangle aside.  Sorry, I just deeply miss and long for the days of classic basketball.  The closest thing to the 80s Celtics in today's game is...the UCONN women and other WNBA teams.  When it was announced that Ainge was looking at a college coach, I was praying for Geno ;D even though I realize that that will never happen.  Could he give our coaches and players clinics in the summer? ;D

i think if Rondo wins MVP, Bradley wins DPOY, Smart wins ROY, Zeller wins MIP, and Thornton wins 6th Man of the Year, i think we'll be on to something.

If Olynyk, Zeller, and Sullinger all peak before they even turn 25, that should probably be considered the worst case scenario.

Losing is always painful, the goal is always to win as many games as possible. In saying that though the rebuilding process has not been that painful as yet and this offseason has only added to my excitement. At least this rebuild shows some real direction, acquiring young talented players, future assets in the form of draft picks and then the cap space which will be opening up over the next few seasons, it's definitely not a bad time to bad a Celtic's fan.

I personally think we should be looking at moving Green, I don't feel he is the SF we will be moving forward with in the future. It also opens up more minutes for Young and Turner and continues to clear extra space as we move forward during the coming summers which may be our chance to add some quality free agents and decide if we are going to make a serious push for re-signing Rondo.

This is going to be a very long season up coming for us my fellow Celtic fans. We all know Danny is planning for the future adding assets via trading and drafting and etc. Its a youth movement that we all have to be patient with and embrace. Yes is this team going to have trouble scoring? Yes they will. Will rookies make mistakes? Of course they are going to. But with cap room next year to spend and more players advancing there skills. This team will be back into contending in a few years. The gloomy days of the 90's are in the past. The future is very bright and I am proud to say I am  Celtic fan. No matter how bad this team is I will be right there supporting the Boys in Green White. This has been on my mind for the past few days for fans that are just ****ing about wanting to win now and keep blaming Danny for not being able to get Love or anybody else.

last year was very painful.....but we expected it. most here know it will be a 3 to 5 year rebuild.
LET'S GO CELTICS!

I'm good with everything as long as I don't have to see Bass and Wallace start or play big minutes.
