NBA Season is about to arrive
The most anticipated NBA season in years - as it is being dubbed from coast to coast - is just about to dawn on us. And, standing at the precipice are your Boston Celtics. Expecting interesting things tomorrow??? It will be definitely be the first chapter of an exciting adventure. I cannot wait to see what happens.
The team, as currently constituted, presents a formidable obstacle to any opponent. Take a close look at that lineup. One through twelve, the roster is comprised of veterans. Solid veterans. Almsot all of whom have served as starters at one point in time or another. On paper, they look like the real deal.
Should be FAN TASTIC...especially if you are a Celtics fan

NBA PREDICTIONS
Interesting thoughts by Tommy Heinsohn on the CSNNE Basketball Show. Tommy, Mike Gorman, and Gary Tanguay think that the Celtics, if healthy, might indeed be NBA champions. Very interesting insights. Great quote on the show....Gary Tanguay "We basically have 82 preseason games" to look forward to."


BOYCHUCK CHECKED OUT
You may not have seen this, but Boychuck is out for the next month or so due to an arm injury. Here is wishing Boychuck a speedy recovery.


NFL GIVES KUDOS TO MERIWEATHER
No big secret that the NFL made an example of Brandon Meriweather last week. But, did you notice that the NFL came out and praised how Meriweather made to "effective" hits in yesterdays muck-a-luck with the Chargers. They actually noted how well he was able to do the hit within the confines of the rules.

Check it out here in a link to the LA times:

IAN THOMSEN'S OUTLOOK FOR DAY ONE
Count SI's Ian Thomsen as an initial non-believer. On CSNNE's Sports Tonight, he mentioned how he initially thought the Celtics would be destroyed in Game One because the Heat had to win it much more than the Celtics. But, interesting point is made by IA - the closer it gets to game time, the less sure he is about that.


Oh MannyDa!
Did you hear the rumor going around? Manny may want to reunite with former Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell in his new job as head of the Blue Jays. Oh Boy!


Felger strike again.
Great call on the Sports Hub today. Felger, when chewing out a resident NY fan (deservedly so, who was trying to explain why the Pats win yesterday would never be repeated in the playoffs), suggesting he was mad at Felger because Felger's prediction that the Pats would be better without Moss, was met with a great one liner. When Felger suggested his own potential divine skills as creating such a prediction - tongue and cheek of course - the caller, Mike, responded.
"You're a real Nostr- adass - mus."

Nice.
