Key Headlines:
Its no surprise im a celtic fan.
But the additions we have this season sure will put us over the top.
Jeff Green, Courtney Lee, Barbosa, Terry, Sullinger, Darko, Collins.
Give us great depth and experience in some.
With Bass, KG, Pierce, Rondoooooo, Bradley just makes this team the biggest threat in my opinion in the NBA when it comes to the post season. If Doc was not the coach i probably wouldnt be saying this now.
