OMG. Boston has just become instant contenders again. Like in Gabby's post earlier, both of us used to be big Larry Bird, hence, Celtics fans. I guess this will be one more reason to cheer for them now.

My ranking of favorite teams now goes like this:

1. Houston
2. Toronto
3: Boston

The starting lineup of Boston now consists of:

Ray Allen aka Jesus Shuttlesworth - Great shooter but fast and quick enough to penetrate.

Paul Pierce - an overall good player. There is nothing he doesn't do well. Hadn't had good players around him to make some noise.

Kevin Garnett - Probably the best all around player in the NBA right now. I've had him for my Fantasy Leagues, and he consistently fills up ALL statistics. Not only that, but he is a hard worker, intense and a good example to set for his teammates as if Allen and Pierce cannot do as well a job on their own.

Correction: I included Durant here when he shouldn't. I was confused between the Celtics and the Sonics. Durant is in the Sonics.

I was watching the summer leagues and you guys have to watch for this guy Boston acquired. Jeff Green. He is another rookie that is impressing me a lot in the summer leagues. To have that coming off the bench is a reason why they could let go of Gerald Green, the most recent slam dunk champ. Gerald Green has the potential to be a superstar in this league but Jeff Green is not too bad either. Jeff Green is a very good all around player in the mold of a Paul Pierce.

One word.... WOW.... Celtics are going to rock!
