The Boston Celtics offseason officially ends Monday and all I can say is yyyyeeeessssss!!!!! The C's will begin their quest for Banner 18 on Tuesday, September 28th. That's right Celtics Nation, Training Camp is almost here.
The Celtics will return to the court for the 1st. time since the 2010 NBA Finals. The C's will open up camp with their deepest roster since the 2008 Championship season. The Celtics will be loaded in the frontcourt with the additions Shaq & Jermaine O'Neal. The backcourt is the NBA's deepest with the resignings of Ray Allen and Nate Robinson, plus the pickup of Delonte West.
Paul Pierce is ready to captain the team to another title run, while Kevin Garnett should be ready to play his best basketball since the 17th Banner season. I expect great things from "The Big Ticket" and "The Ticket Stub", Glen "Big Baby" Davis. Kendrick Perkins will continue to rehab his knee and be ready to be a force in January, or February.
I would not be suprised to see Tony Gaffney earn the Celtics final roster spot, however, Von Wafer is an experienced NBA player, who will give Tony a battle for the last spot during camp. Doc Rivers will use Training Camp to figure out his combinations for the upcoming season & get the C's ready to win our 18th Banner.
LETS GO CELTICS.
