After watching our Celtics cut through the league for the first quarter of the season, I think they have a perfect storm that has left them heads and shoulders above almost the entire league. I'd like to see a western trip before I get too excited, but so far, the conditions fallen nicely.
First, their base of three all stars who can win games, but won't lose any as so many of the rookies did last year. They are talented, complementary and hungry for success. A nice start.
Next, is the up and coming star from the old team. In this case, Rondo fits the bill. His play has been spectacular and you have to think that having all that talent has given him confidence. His quickness and willingness to play defense have given teams problems so far.
Next, the hired guns. Posey and House bring talent, defense, offense and maturity to the bench. They are efficient, high energy guys who show the other benchies what to do.
Finally, the surprising rookie. Big Baby has played way above expectations and appears to be a steal for a second rounder.
Altogether, a perfect storm that produced a great team so far.
