Getting my first glimpse at the new Celts.  Very weird to see them 
playing the t-wolves (ricky davis, al, gerald, craig smith!, telfair), 
but it confirms for me that we did the right thing.

So many things to like:

 - Kendrick Perkins now has Garnett  tutoring him on the floor, instead 
of him and Jeffereson learning together.
 - inside! We are playing inside!! on offense - KG feeding perk, who is 
getting more open looks. On D, there is Perk, KG, Batista
 - ray allen's shooting - wow. Pierce now has no excuse to go 1 on 3 
like he used to. He's never out of options.
 - rondo finding the open man
 - defense! lots of long arms poking the ball away - Rondo, KG, Pierce, 
Allen, Posey.  Starters diving on the floor (kg). How many steals will 
they rack up? And, the steals lead to baskets! What a novel concept.
 - garnett's leaderhsip - Pierce is going to have a tremendous year 
because of this
- high low - perk to kg to Rondo out to Allen on the perimiter - boom!

This team is special. They are intense, very talented, and really good 
defensively. They are going all the way.  We'll put posey/tony allen on 
Lebron; Garnett on Duncan or Nowitski. Hang up the banner, baby!!
