I regret that I lost faith in the Celtics for a few moments.
MEA CULPA, MEA CULPA, MEA MAXIMA CULPA.
May the BASKETBALL GODS forgive me.
With the help of Kemba Walker they put on a display of great basketball that allowed them to sweep the series with the Philadelphia opponents.
What a difference a player like KEMBA brings. He has everything that Kyrie lacked, and he really clicks with the other team members. Also I am thrilled to see Marcus Smart spur the team on and make the great defensive moves when they are needed.
One of the things I learned was that the team had spent sometime in China with Kemba playing with them as part of the USA team. They clicked and I imagine that facilitated both the trade and the happy result of that trade.
Believe it or not this is the first time that Kemba has advanced in the playoffs. So he is glad to be on a team that wants to win. And the team has not had a player like Kemba who now is being compared to such Celtic legends as Cousy and Mc Hale.
I hope that they don't get too overconfident. I think that they may be facing the talented Toronto Raptors next.
PLAY ON
