Early in the fourth quarter of his first game, Walton holds the ball, his back to the basket. He spots Bird making a baseline cut. Pass. Two points. A minute later he outlets to Bird at midcourt. Two more. A few minutes later he blocks a shot, alters the follow, grabs the miss and starts a fast break. He plays 19 solid minutes, scores nine points, grabs 11 rebounds, leaves to another standing O, then claps his hands and smiles from the bench as Bird goes wild down the stretch in a 111-109 Celtic victory.
The expectations were high for Bill Walton. No, they were through the roof. The same can be said of KG teaming with Sheed. Will the result be the same?

I can't wait for this season. This team will be even better than the 08 team providing Danny gets a quality player to back up Pierce.
I think Sheed is going to be so much fun to watch as a Celtic. Between Perk and Sheed and KG we should lead the league in technicals, but what fun we will have getting them.
