Expect the Celtics big comeback next year

Tuesday, June 9, 2009 | |

Next season we will expect the stronger and more competitive Boston Celtics team. I'm very confident of that as I saw the improvement of other Celtics players in this year playoffs, the players like Glenn Davis and Eddie house really step up their game in the last quarter of the regular season and in the playoffs.

But the most I amazed this year is Glenn "the baby" Davis in the absence of their star forward Kevin Garnett who hasn't played in the playoffs due to his injury. The baby answered the call for Celtics as he fill in the missing numbers that Garnett usually gave to the team. In the playoffs he played every game very consistent and efficient with an average of almost 16 ppg. and 11 rebounds behind the leaders Paul Pierce and Ray Allen.

Despite of being under size in his position as a power forward he still manage score consistently againts the bigger and talented Dwight Howard in the second round of the playoffs,
in that series he showed how talented he was, as he gave Howard a tough challenge in guarding him in his inside and outside game. But unluckily lost to the Magic in that playoff series.

But like the other teams Boston also have thier own problems and issues need to resolve next season and could that be their bench. At the end of this season two of their best bench players might be lost Glenn Davis and Tony Allen will be a free agent next season, maybe Davis will be aiming for bigger money if good offers come to him and Tony Allen will wait for the decision of the management if he will be re-sign for another season. And another is that to have a good back up pointguard for Rondo. If the Celtics want to be competitive next season they must have to solidify their bench, as I believe that it could be the factor that will help them to be successful next year as their key players are not getting younger anymore.
