Luke Kornet Will Be Big This Season

By

Luuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkke!
     Sitting here watching tonight's preseason game and the way the C's are feeding Luke the rock. I expect him to have a huge impact this season. There will be no KP and Al doesn't play back to backs. This will be his opportunity to show he's a solid big. The man hustles and has a high basketball IQ. He knows where to be around the rim. Solid rebounder overall and adequate on offense. Defensively he positions himself well enough to not be a liability. I'm sure he will share minutes with Till who I also expect to have a heck of a year. 
     Just imagine how the 5 position is going to be a strength for these C's. With Luke and Till getting more run with the top Dawgs their skill sets will grow. Add to the mix Al being Al who is solid as a rock. Then eventually when KP gets back, the league better watch out. Sleeper for the C's bigs is Quetta, expect him to get some run and show what he's working with. 
     This Celtics team has depth in every position. Couple that with the fact both Jays have something to prove to the league and USA basketball. As well as having the best backcourt in the league anchoring the D, I expect nothing less than a team going scorched earth. We are going to have a heck of a season folks. Back to back sounds really good to me!

In defense of Marcus Smart

By
 Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S...

One of those sources is Wikipedia, as seen below: Kevin McHale American basketball player DescriptionKevin Edward McHale is an American retired basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Boston Celtics. He is a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and is regarded as one of the best power forwards of all time. He was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. Wikipedia Born: December 19, 1957 (age 61 years), Hibbing, MN Wingspan: 8′ 0″ Height: 6′ 10″ Spouse: Lynn McHale (m. 1982) NBA draft: 1980, Boston Celtics (Round: 1 / Pick: 3) Hall of fame induction: 1999 Number: 32 (Boston Celtics / Power forward, Center) Kevin was listed at 6'10" tall when he was drafted with the 3rd pick in the 1980 draft.
