A game already? I haven't even gotten my celtic attire washed for the season. Wouldn't want to wash off any wins....

Erden looks like he could excel as a third string big man backup although I don't predict any minutes for him come playoffs but he could definitely give the vets a rest against second stringers. By the looks of it, we're 3 deep at both the 4 and 5 spot. At the 4 we have KG, JON and Big Baby and at the 5 we'll have KP, Shaq and Erden during the regular season but unless Erden suddenly becomes a beast, he won't make the roster cuts for the postseason.

This was my first view of Erden and I'm favorably surprised. He looked a lot better than his Euro league numbers would suggest. Much more athletic than I thought he'd be, showed some touch and some passing skills. Definitely looks like a serviceable 3rd center.
I think Shaq and Rondo are going to work really well together. Just the fact that Shaq can catch and finish strong is a huge plus.

some of those picks were nice too. Rondo can basically just run around him.

Nice win. I predict Collins will be fired w/ in -2years.

Hmm reflecting on the game today I realized that the score is similar to our usual scores. Under a 100 but still a win because of defense. And the nice thing about having Shaq is hes so tall and strong that you just lob it up and he'll slam it down for free points. Very excited about this year.

The defense is definitely ahead of the offense but overall they looked great! They haven't lost anything defensively and that is a very good thing. Erden impressed me. I loved the Rondo to Shaq inside passes. Of the 3 players on the bubble, Lasme was the best in this game. KG looked as good as the reports said. Pierce looks energized. Baby was aggressive. Looking good!!

That was a nice win and I'm excited to see Rondo and Shaq with some nice passes and dunks this season.
