41 reasons to look forward to next year

[Boris Badenov]

"And now, introducing your WORLD CHAMPION Boston Celtics!"

Dunno - just occurred to me that it will be pretty cool to hear that all year. Ever since '86 it's always given me a twinge of jealousy to hear another team announced as the champs.

... and hearing every contender saying, "Well, you know, the Celtics are the champs, we're gonna have to go through them to get to where we wanna go.  Until somebody else raises that trophy, they're the champs."

I'm gonan add some more things to look forward to this season.
1. The huge jump in play of the young players after NBA finals experience.
2. Tony Allen being finally healthy (hopefully) and having a great year.
3. Seeing how good the rookies are (building a future to come after the big 3)

Nobody else will raise that trophy

The C's getting their rings in front of Lebron on opening night...

I'm excited about your first point as well, I really want to see how the young guys progress from last year.  I think Rondo will take some more big steps.
