Celtics Could Be Losing Top Assistant Coach

According to ESPN, Lawrence Frank met with the Pistons for the head coach vacancy. Frank is also one of the final two for the Raptors job too. word is former Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson is the favorite for the Pistons job, but I think Frank will do a good job at either place. Neither job is a "dream job" by any means, but both teams have the capability to be a playoff team next year. Doc Rivers always speaks highly of Frank, and I'm sure he'd do well at either place. Last year's head assistant for the Celtics, Tom Thibodeau did pretty well this yer with the Bulls.

Celtics Doing What They Do: WINNING!

The Celtics looked sluggish on offense in the first half with several 24 second and 3 second violations. They were losing for almost the entire second half. The celtics had some instrumental plays in the last quarter that catapulted them for the victory. A lot of people were silenced when Douglas hit the three with 39 seconds left, but Doc setting up the inbounds alley oop to KG silenced that quickly. In my mind the player of the game for the Celtics was Jermaine O'Neal. He played great defense all game with 4 blocks and put down 12 points. He is by no means Perkins, but is going to be heavily influential on Boston's success in the playoffs. Too bad the Lakers won't be able to meet us in the Finals. Nothing will be better than seeing Perk back in the Garden.

P.S. Gotta love the announcer. Ray Allen's one millionth clutch shot in his career. We gotta get him in the NSHL. " And there goes Mark Ledbetter breaking the backboard on a layup for the one millionth time in his career!"

Good Thing We Traded Nate to Give Von Wafer More Playing Time

Hey I love Doc Rivers, and Danny Ainge did a great job drafting Rondo and bringing in 2 of the Big 3. With all that said, this Perkins and Nate Robinson trade is gonna hurt like a sucker punch from Kimbo Slice. Big Diesel has been my idol since I could hold a ball in my hands, but now he's more like the big fossil. Green is a good possibly great player in the future, but we are in a win now phase and he doesn't fit in with KG, Ray, and Pierce. If we can't get out of this foxhole, I wonder what will hurt more, the Lakers or Thunder winning it this year.
