Well that pretty much covers all the open questions for the upcoming season. Thanks.
Yep, Danny signed Zeller. Hunter seems to be in the driver's seat for the last roster spot.
We just don't know. Look at Kawhi Leonard drafted at #15. Fourteen teams didn't think he was that good.
Maybe the Brooklyn picks coming up will be pure gravy. Rozier was picked #16. Avery was a #19 pick. Jaylen Brown is #3. Smart at #6. Olynyk at #13 I think. On and on it goes.
Oh, Isaiah was the Mr. Irrelevant pick his year. Some top picks aren't that great. Some are. Few of the later picks are that great, but sometimes they are.
This whole season coming up is a gigantic wild card. Someone on our team could have a breakout year. Many of them could.
I imagine the most important thing to look out for will be do we have a legitimate backup point guard. That will be the Evan Turner hole.
But losing Turner and Sully is going to be liberating in many other ways. We'll be faster without Sully and without Turner, our offense could become much more dynamic, like a Green Wave from as in back to the 80's.
Am I the only fan willing to go out on a limb and say we will be a top five NBA team and authentic title contender?
I don't think this is about drinking green kool-aid. I'm not saying it's a guarantee because nothing in life is. I feel Déjà vu to 2007-08 or as a kid when we got Larry Bird, DJ, then McHale and Parish. You just knew going into those years that something major had changed.
Like when the Red Sox got Pedro and Manny.
It's just that a guy like Horford isn't glamorous and Isaiah gets no respect for his height in regards to defense.
That's why we need a solid backup pg. Isaiah could get injured or banged up. We also want a backup plan if for some reason he isn't hitting his shots and no matter how great he is, we might want to try the other guy more for specific games.
Maybe there won't be many minutes for Jaylen. Maybe Green, Crowder and even Hunter with Smart and Bradley take all the minutes.
It will be interesting because Brad Stevens is the coach. He does make mistakes at times, like starting Zeller with Lee. Lee was awful and that pairing totally screwed with Tyler's head.
We are all Celtics fanatics. I am ready to go all-in with the glass is three-quarters full and might be completely full. We can guess and speculate. What we really have to do is find a way for the next two months to pass. This is deep hibernation time for the NBA. You can even sense it in other fan comments. I am all revved up for the next season. We substituted Horford for Sully! Amir had plantar fasciitis and Olynyk is going into his fourth year, time for him to step up.
We have great guards. Hey, maybe Crowder is our Kawhi Leonard. Maybe Jae gets even better than he was during his great stretch last year. Maybe Crowder is a new form of truth.
He was picked #34 in 2012. We wonder about Olynyk and Smart, but Jae is also at the blossoming age.
This team could blossom and win the title.
