Boston fans these days seem to be getting the best of all sports. In the off-season the Celtics made wise moves in acquiring Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Since the pair have arrived the franchise has made a promising turnaround. Boston is off to a 6-0 start and look to take the East by storm. Last night they captured a 101-86 victory over the Pacers. Paul Pierce was the player of the game, showcasing a 31-point performance with 11 rebounds and 6 assists.
I think this new Celtics team can beat anybody in the league this year. Their bench is okay with Scalabrine, Posey, and Allen which will probably serve as their main secondary contributors. In Tuesday night's game Boston outscored Indiana in each quarter. When you can manage and build upon a lead like that then a win is basically imminent. If the big starting 3 can average at least 18 points per game a piece the Celtics will continue to dominate Eastern conference competitors.
KG must be glad to finally be on a winning team after all of those disappointing years with Minnesota. He may not be the top scorer on the team, but will instill the greatest motivation and leadership. People who dared laugh at this franchise in previous years will be sorry the did this season. The real test for the Celtics for be consistent good defense. That will be them to the limits against opponents like the Pistons, Cavs, and Magic. I'd like to see them prolong the hot streak, reappearing on the highlight reels at night.
