Who is your favorite player on the Celtics?
Who are your top 5 in order?
Why?

For me:

1)Marcus Smart is my favorite. Quite simply, I love his defense and grit and balls. I honestly believe Marcus will finish his career as one of the greatest defenders in NBA history. I just can't remember too many guys who were ever as good as him at their peak, let alone in their second seasons. He's a defensive superstar. Has the heart and desire to improve his offense and will hopefully slowly get there like Jimmy Butler with hard work.

2)Isaiah Thomas close 2nd for me. Just has the heart of a lion and the desperation to win, like Marcus and Jae. Not afraid of anyone or any moment.

3)Jae Crowder. Close 3rd and a true Celtic. Has blown away all of our expectations with his toughness and willingness, like Marcus, to play as hard as he can on BOTH ends. Willing to defend and understands that defense is just as important as offense.

4)Avery Bradley. A staple and another workhorse that represents everything that is good about the Celtics. Gritty defender and worked on his game every off season. Has finally overcome injury woes and is a crucial piece for us whether as a piece of a championship team or an incredibly valuable trade asset to get us very close to contender status.

5)Terry Rozier. I love the pick and have been rooting for him all year after the BS reception that a lot of C's fans gave Danny and him for being our 16th pick instead of someone like Portis.
Kid has arguably the most superstar potential of anyone on our team (as in, although the odds are against him to an extent, he could actually be better than IT one day given the mix of his skill, athleticism and attitude).
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

1. IT4 - Very fun player to watch, amazing what kind of skills he has on the offensive end. Being an All-Star helps.
2. Smart - Very fun player to watch, amazing what kind of skills he has on the defensive end. Seems to have those type of "Hustle Plays" multiple times a game.
3. AB - Very fun player to watch, amazing what kind of skills he has on the defensive end. Has the ability to shut down premier guards in the league, and light it up on the offensive end in any given moment.
4. Jae - Very fun player to watch, amazing what kind of skills he has on both ends of the floor. Comes and plays hard every game, him being in peak shape is the key to our team.
5. Rookies - In any given year, I love to watch the rookies develop, loved the run Terry had in the playoffs.

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

The last 4 are sorta interchangeable. In the New England area the saying is "Do your job." These are the people doing it. Terry R isn't too far behind and I have some hopes for RJ.

I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

5. Amir and KO
6. ET

This will all change in a few months time. Sorry I haven't completed the assignment as asked but this is how I see things right now. Okay, I usually check how AB has gone first if I have to catch up on game due to work.
