1) First Round Opponent

In the first round of the playoffs it's very clear that the Celtics will face either: Detroit, Miami, New Jersey, Chicago, New York, Toronto, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, or Indiana.


2) Mutombo

He's coming here. it makes too much sense for him not to. He will win a title here. His renowned charity work would burgeon in Boston. (The only other destination that makes any sense at all is San Antonio.)


3) When Dikembe Arrives

Probably Cassell will just move to offical assistant coach status from his current unoffical assistant coach position.


4) When Dikembe Arrives #2

It won't bury Big Baby. Somehow, some way, Baby will still play. He's got a great attitude. He's young. Cripes, he's just a kid. Wait until he fills out.


5) Utah

Next stop Jazz. (Utah ...Jazz... that still gets me. What an oxymoron.) Is Deron Williams still hobbled? He gave Rondo fits last year, but if he's not healthy and thriving the Wasatch StanGetz's will be going down!


6) Utah #2

Remember last year the Jazz walloped the Celtics in Boston? I think they were the only West team to win in ye olde TD Bankitybank Center last season. The Celtics surely recall this and will parcel out some vengeance tomorrow night.


7) Cavs

They're good. They're very good. But they're not as magnificent as your Hollingery types are leading you to believe. They are 3-3 vs. top teams. That's .500 and not so impressive.


8) Atlanta

Speaking of the Cavs, they just lost to the Hawks. The Atlanta game on Wednesday scares me a little bit. If the Celtics can win down in GA they have an excellent chance of setting both an all-time franchise winning streak and a new mark for best start to a season by anyone ever.


9) Comcast

How come Cousy isn't welcome any more but nonCeltic Donny Marshall is? Donny's decent. There's nothing wrong with him. He works hard at the job.

The only thing that bothers me is this: Donny if you're listening I don't care about any of the following things: shoes, neckties, shirts, suits, golf and UCONN. I care about the Celtics.


10) Posey

That sneaky SOB! Man was he great to watch. He was grabbing, tugging, slapping and hounding on every play and getting away with it. What a smart devious veteran... and I say that with the utmost love and respect.


Bonus thing)

Antoine? Noooooohhhhhhhh!!!! Bill Walker fills the Walker quota for this franchise.

That's a long list Gant. I don't like Donny Marshall, he's just too metrosexual. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but... I like Gary Tanguay more. He did a real good job in Mike Gorman's absence.

Utah took advantage of Ray Allen getting injured early in that game, or Boston would have won, just throwing that out there

My thoughts exactly, ATLs been tough at home, Boston can't repeat what they did vs New Orleans and expect to win.

The Bulls' 23-2 start was the best 25 game start to a season, right?

26-2. It was done twice: by the 66-67 Philadelphia 76ers and the 69-70 New York Knicks.

I agree with all points except.......for the tireless work in the dark ages......the Wiggle needs to return.

Respectfully to all those who were on the other side in the bloody Antoine wars, once he fell in love with the 3 point line I couldn't stand his game.

I'm more than happy with the team's current Kentucky Wildcat.

Are you insane? Tanquay was terrible. I actually watched the ESPN broadcast most of the night. Donny is boring and very dry in my opinion. He appears to try too hard to be "sophisticated" or something. I am not sure, but it drives me nuts. I do feel he is better than many hacks out there, but this is the Celtics, not UConn. Out of all the Celtic greats out there, they can't find someone that bleeds green? Also, I really cannot stand when he is doing the pre-game and at the end he just yells, "Cs" My question is why?

Why not?? Ugh...

Bring back Cousy...

Good list, yeah donny is annoying with his UCONN stories and stuff like that.

Great list as always, Gant. I'm right there with you on Posey, he does know more tricks than a 50 year old hooker.

I saw Posey do the quick jersey tug on KG. It was an absolutly perfect example of fouling a player early in the fast break to avoid the foul call.

It stopped a 3 on 2, and even though he was wearing the wrong colors, I was still daying 'daaamn, tha is sneaky'.
