If you haven't been checking out the new stuff happening over at WEEI with Ben Rohrbach then shame on you. Ben has been doing tons of great stuff over there including his morning segment "Irish Coffee", and most recently a full bloggers preview for all 30 teams in the NBA.
He asked us to be a part of the Celtics version of the preview and here's what I gave him.
ON THE CELTICS: When asked by WEEI for a brief preview of the Boston Celtics 2010-11 season, the first thing I had to do was run to my desk and grab that fashionable pair of green goggles I’ve worn throughout my time as a Celtics fan.
Now that I took care of that, here’s what I think will go down this year for the hometown boys in green:
The Celtics are back and better than ever this season. After watching six preseason games, the amount of depth on this team cannot be compared to that of any other team in recent memory.
Von Wafer, a guy who had a solid tenure in Houston, was being talked about as a guy that could be cut from this team. That right there says something.
Of course, the team is going to undergo injuries and other hiccups throughout the course of the regular season that may draw some criticism, but if this Celtics team remains healthy come playoff time nobody (not even the Miami Heat) can match their depth and playoff experience.
For that reason, I’m predicting a solid regular season record of 52-30, a healthy team going into the playoffs and … wait for it … wait for it … Banner 18.
I guess that's also a great way to give my final prediction for the season here on the site. It's game time, my green goggles are on, and I'm ready to start the season!
