It has been over a week since the newly looked Celtics have gotten acquainted. Since the trade, the Celtics are only 5-1. That one loss, the day they traded Perkins, Nate, and the rest of the bench leaving the green to dress only eight players. It was also a very emotional day for the Cs.
Earlier this week, Nate Robinson underwent knee surgery that will keep him out for another 4-6 weeks, Perk is out for another two, Erden hasn't played yet, so what is all the fuss with Danny's move? Jeff Green and Nednad Krstic are becoming vital parts in this teams move towards banner 18. Nenad is efficient and fitting into the offense well and Jeff Green versatility is just tough to stop. With Baby out, Green is filling in nicely. Two healthy players contributing on a nightly basis and Perk and Nate? Sitting in street clothes for the Oklahoma City Thunder. There should not be any more questions about this move. The Celtics still have three seven footers with Nenad and the O'Neals. Troy Murphy gives them some length as well.
This team can score the basketball now. Nenad never got looks in OKC because Durant and Westbrook were the first two options. Jeff Green can beat you from the outside or he can post you down low. Give Rondo the basketball and he will find anyone for an easy basket.
The Celtics moved to 46-15 after their gutsy performance in Milwaukee which is good for the number one seed in the Eastern Conference and the second best record in the NBA, questions? I do not think so. See you in the championship in June.
