Colors.

It’s Fall again in Boston friends, and the leaves are a changin’. In Boston talk that means that our sports colors are changing as well, primarily from red to green. With an all-too-early exit from the World Series Race our attention shifts to my personal favorite sport of basketball. In case you’ve been in another country for the past 8 months or so your Boston Celtics are the reigning NBA champions, and defend they shall. 

With a cast of salty veterans right down to the young upstarts we are reloaded for the 08-09 season. Of course my personal favorite “Towny” Tommy Heinsen with his made up gimmicks (Tommy points) and sometimes off-color commentery. Seriously though, how could you not be shit-your-pants excited about the “Big Three” back for more with their first year together reaping a title?! There’s nothing sweeter than KG’s intensity combined with P-Doubles solid All-Star caliber play year in and year out. To top it off Mr. He Got Game Allen with the silkiest and fastest trigger pull in the business.

 

2010 Starting 5? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

But every team’s going to hone in those guys, so what about the unsung heroes who fly mostly under the radar? Well worry not, Leon “The Truck” Powe is back with more confidence and attitude to put in some unsuspecting vics face. Big Perk aka “The Enforcer” deserves a mention because this will be his most important year. Getting the ball out of his hands quickly will be the name of his game, not to mention muscling some opposing players around every once in a while. Running the show is one of the smoothest young point gaurds in Celticdome, you know the guy with the Roles Royce tatt on his back Mr. Rondo. The guy comes with more secret moves every game. Barring a slight pre-season ankle injury he’ll be ready to roll. A quick mention has to go to a healthy Tony Allen who can be very exciting to watch at times and other times you might want to put a hand over your face and just peek (horror show). That said we certainly will miss the do-it-all James Posey, but between the new rooks and Big Baby back in the mix looking trim (for him) we should have depth to throw at most any team. Our second team offense in a glass has to be Eddie House who does a decent enough job running the plays when RR’s on the bench but is a tremendous team and crowd motivator who can single-handedly start a run with a three ball threat second only to Ray Allen once he’s on a roll.

 

Excited Boston? You better be because this sequel’s not going to be a slouch. Defensive intensity combined with a dynamic offense and strong transition offense are going to provide Sports Center Top 10 Plays all season. The leaves may not be green in color anymore, but fortunately every true Bostonian bleeds it this time of year.
