News - Boston Celtics - Toby
Messing with a good thing..?
Boston fans are rejoicing after their beloved Celtics have started the season on an all time high At the conclusion of week two they are sitting with a record of 6 wins and 2 losses, which puts them fourth in the east, although we have the same record of all the teams above.
So going in to week three it appears there might be some changes for the Celtics, beginning with the obvious on;
- Welcome back Darius Garland
GM, Toby had a stinker of a time when he didnt set his new lineup in time to get Garland off the injury list. He blamed it being on night shift and not knowing what day it was, but there are theories that he never had to worry about setting lineups before because he never cared about winning. Either way I am sure he felt like an idiot.
The saving grace is that his squad still at a positive week even without him playing. So fans must be beaming with exciting seeing the teams second best player return to the floor. Although KPJ and Dort did an admirable job sharing the playmaking duties, they don't come close to Garlands abilities in that department. So its exciting to see what he can bring out of Wiseman who has already started the seasons strong. Look for Boston to get even more dangerous with the all star point guard returning.
- WE WANT ALPY!
Fans have chanted that during every game this season. So we listened. Sengun will be moved into the starting lineup replacing Finney-Smith. DFS does not bring much to the table from a scoring point of view, but his biggest asset is his defence. That is the GM's main concern, can the rest hold it down without him. It is early in the season, so why not try some things.
Sengun can do things on offence that not many bigs in the league can do, and thats not mentioning he is only 20 years old. He has some 'old head' gym moves, hitting you with a flurry of fakes and pivots. He never looks rushed and on the offensive side makes everyone around him better with his high IQ playmaking.
Lets see how the experiment goes.
- KPJ born for the 6th man role
KJP was great during his two weeks as a starter, but unfortunately with garland returning someone has to go to the bench. We dont see it as a demotion though. KPJ is as instant offence as it gets. HIs combination of scoring and playmaking make sense to have him with the second unit where the ball will primarily be in his hands.
