[Celtics' Stuff ] The Poll(s)!

[JB]

Let me be the first:
48-34. Same as last year.
Last year was just a bad dream.
The improvement should come from several areas:
Injuries and malcontents, not likely to recur.
Two pass first, push the pace point guards.
An emphasis on rebounding with the hiring of Clifford Ray.
Strong defensive players added in Theo Ratliff and  Rajon Rondo with  
a health Tony Allen, should help, inside and out.
A much deeper rotation of quality players, with the ascension of Ryan  
Gomes and Delonte West.
Another year of development for the high school biggs Perkins and  
Jefferson (have you seen the pictures?).
