Wearin' O' the Green

Courtesy of the Thunderstick, Ian Thomsen at SI onine has an article on the Celtics in which he says that things are good now, but issues loom. I think for now it's ok for C's fans simply to enjoy having our team be relevant again. The Big 3 have been every bit as good as advertised, but the NBA season is a long one. My favorite aspect of how they have played through just three games is that there has been great balance -- all three have had one or two great games, each has had a game when he was not the star. And the supporting cast has been great. If Kendrick Perkins and Rajon Rondo can just keep the opposition honest it is going to be a very good season for the Green.

Oh -- and I'm sure those of you who aren't Boston sports fans are thrilled that four consecutive SI covers have had Boston teams on them. (Pats twice, Sox once, C's once, all wholly justifiable.)
