"I Like Us Better than 2008"

--Paul Pierce at Celtics.com

Apparently, there was a KG-sighting at Waltham. But he hasn't played yet. Pierce called the Ticket "almost like a new addition." Ticket and Sheed. Not a bad offseason for Danny. Pierce is also excited about Big Baby. Now there's a guy who's flown under the radar. Could this be a break-out year for Bambino Grande?

"A KG-sighting." Pierce's words. Damn if this isn't like 1987-88 with Bill Walton all over again.

Pretty nerve wracking waiting for information. I'd feel a lot better if PP said that KG was out there scrimaging and looking good instead of he looks good but he didn't play.

Lex said...

Yeah. My guess is KG will be eased into playing during NBAx, and they'll see how he does.

Look at the video again... at the 50 second mark on it where PP is talking about the guys working out already and KG being there and you will see KG with a white sleeve on his knee playing some defense and looking pretty good. A picture is worth a thousand words.

Lex said...

Hmmm. I'll do that.

I don't think that was recent. I think I see Doc, and I don't think he can be at these practices/scrimmages, can he? Also, isn't that Leon under the basket, out of bounds? Not sure, but it looks like him.

Yeah, I think you are right that it isn't recent. I was so honed in on looking at KG that I didn't even notice.

We still have Tim Grgurich's comment in passing about KG working out and playing 5 on 5 at his camp.

I am grasping at straws here, but really want to believe that KG will be ready for camp.

I'm not worried about this at all. It's early September and the season starts in November. Let them rest up and enjoy the NFL season beginning before destroying the league starting in late October.
