I am so ordering a green Celtic’s number 5 jersey…



OK…here’s what I think:

The T-Wolves are now the worst team in the league…your starting lineup is now Randy Foye PG, Gerald Green SG, Ricky Davis SF, Al Jefferson PF and Mark Blount C…with SF Corey Brewer, SF Ryan Gomes, PF Mark Madsen, PG Sebastian Telfair and SG Rashad McCants as the bench…that is just awful…plus what to do with Juwon Howard, Trenton Hassell and Marko (polo…I can’t resists) Jaric?

Rob K is the happiest guy ever right now…

Mark Scalabrine is the new Mark Madsen…

The Pressure on Rajon Rondo is going to be immense, now with 3 all stars to feed the ball to and for him to hit open shots when defences focus on the big three of Allen, Pierce and KG…

The Celtics are not quite the favourite in the East just yet….although the starting lineup of PG Rajon Rondo (or Brevin Knight if the free agent rumours are true) SG Ray Allen, SF Paul Pierce, PF Kevin Garnett and C Kendrick Perkins (yikes) is very good, it’s not necessarily better than Detroit, Chicago or Miami’s starting 5, not to mention Cleveland’s if only because Perkins is terrible and Rondo is still so green…

And the bench? SF/PF Leon Powe has marshmallow knees and is undersized, SG Tony Allen is cmong off of major knee surgery and is a player that relies on his athleticism to be good, rookie PF Glen "Big Baby" Davis is three ho’ho’s and a bratworst away from weighing 458 pounds, SF Brian Scalabrine is the best player at the local YMCA, rookie PF Brandon Wallace was a summer league delight and rookie SG Gabe Pruitt is a rookie SG…

What happens when Allan or Pierce gets hurt? Allan played 55 of 82 games last year and Pierce 47…

How will this work from a cap perspective being as the Celtics will be paying around $58 million to three players, leaving around $5 million for the rest…

With such great scorer’s around him, Garnett will have his best defensive year ever and will lead the league in blocks…
