Celtic Brand of Basketball

I hope that readers realize that I write these posts with a fierce passion on basketball. These Celtics aren't your Larry Bird-led Celtics brand of basketball. This Boston squad is full of veterans who are hungry for a second NBA title underneath their belt since they won the 2008 NBA championship. Gone from that championship team is Eddie House, Bill Walker, and J.R. Giddens. Now they have added recently acquired Michael Finley who is a free agent and been let go from the San Antonio Spurs. He will help the Celtics with some veteran shooting, leadership, and experience off the bench. This is a Celtics team now retooled with Nate Robinson on board. The team is still the same talentwise with Rajon Rondo at the point, Ray Allen at the shooting guard, Paul Pierce at the three, Kevin Garnett at power forward, and Kendrick Perkins at center. The bench is still outstanding. You got Rasheed Wallace covering Garnett and Perkins as well as big men Sheldon Williams and Glen Davis. You have Marquis Daniels covering for Ray Allen. I would say, this is still a Celtics team that is ready to pound the ball and run whenever they can. Their shooters will shoot the lights out of the gym once Rondo gets the ball to shooters on the wings and corners. The Celtics big men will rotate the paint and make sure the opponents' offense will be unable to get off any kind of shot in the lane. That's how good the Celtics' stingy defense is behind Garnett's howling.
