The most successful sports franchise in basketball history seems to be back on track.
Celtics look indestructible Celtics beat Melo and nuggets 119-93 and it wasn’t even that close. Many predicted a championship season for The Boston Celtics this year so far it looks like a good prediction. Their early 3-0 record is sending a message to the sports world. The Celtics are back . Are they ever. The big three Garnett Allen and Pierce may be the best three players on any team in the NBA. All three were on different teams last year were almost always double teamed as they were always the go to guy. They now are all on single coverage or sometimes no coverage at all. They are utilizing these defenses to look unstoppable.. Doc Rivers the Celtics coach seems to have found the right combination in using these stars. Scoring as been evenly spread with Paul Pierce the leading scorer twice with Ray Allen the leading the scoring in the other game. Kevin Garnett is the probable cause that Allen and Pierce are getting good looks. The defense is wary of Garnett and this is leaving Pierce and Allen with high percentage shots. Allen is shooting an incredible 66%. If the Celtics stay healthy expect another championship banner to be lifted to the rafters. Where are you David Cowens? |
