Jason Collins is a beast and it's good Doc starts him sometimes; he is way better than any big we could pick up off the free agent market. It's been proven that our team is so much better when he plays more. Good job Doc for utilizing our secret strength...
He scores double as many points in our wins as in our losses, one would think this is the most important statistic of them all!
And to think we got him for the vet min. What. A. Steal.
Go Danny!
Go Doc!
Go Celtics!
