Boston an NBA Contender?

Well here we are witnessing what we never thought we would see in our era, a possible NBA champion. With the amount of acqusitions that were made in the offseason during the draft, Danny Ainge finally got it right. He made the Boston Celtics a contender for the title. Who would have thought..right? The man that everyone thought was on his way to being a distant memory in Boston struck back and shocked the world KG style. Now put that in cup of Peirce with a shot of Allen and you have the PGA tour. The Celtics are off to its best start in franchise history with a 33 and 7 record which also happens to be the best record in the NBA. While everyone else has their team in cruise control, the Celtics are running hard up and down the floor every single game like they have something to prove. Why you ask, because they DO have something to prove. Were not talking about the Suns who know they are going to make it to the playoffs no matter how they play in January and February. Were not talking about the Spurs who have four championships and still manage to kick tail even when Duncan is out of the lineup. We are talking about the Celtics, who last season were riding a 18 game losing streak and were at the end of everyone's jokes. This was a team that had to lose by 40 points just to be in highlights on ESPN. An arena that you could go into and get a ticket 10 minutes before tipoff. A city where fans would go to the game on a night when the Lakers were in town just to get a glimspe of Kobe, and see him dunk on Brian Scalabrine. But no more because the Garden is now the house that Garnett is rebuilding. ESPN now needs the Celtics for ratings. No one cares for Kobe. Bostonians can't even smell a ticket anymore. And like that team 40 minutes north of Beantown, the only thing the green rides are winning streaks.
The number one thing that KG preaches is team defense making the Celtics the number one ranked defense in the league. Its seems the company line around the North End is run hard on every team good or bad, which make it easier for us to understand why the Celtics only have one loss in the Atlantic conference. So KG and Peirce will make sure the rest of the guys don't let up teams like the Bobcats because its February. Youngsters like Big Baby Glen Davis will learn that the NBA is an 8 month affair where you have to prove your worth to the league and your peers. Ray Allen will realize that the playoffs are looming and playing hurt might just have to be a real possibility. Danny Ainge will understand that a back up point guard is very much nessecary. And most importantly the city of Boston will again "Believe in the Green".
