This Week’s Big 3 Things

We're unveiling yet another new feature on Red's Army. 

Every
week, we look at the Big Three things happening in Celtics-land, good and bad, and we rank them…
because everyone else is doing it and we're very easily swayed by peer
pressure.

On the way up

1:  Our expectations –
We all talked a big game, but there's something about beating Cleveland on
their court and then bitch-slapping Charlotte that is so…
intoxicating.  Oh, and Cleveland is 0-2?  Shoooooooot….. what's our
magic number?

2: "Get that $h!t outta here" – It's the
Celtics version of someone saying "bless you" after a sneeze… they
just do it now after every blocked shot without thinking about it.  And
there have been a lot of those.  De-FENSE!  De-FENSE!

3: Sheed's Fro – He teased us by going natural in the season opener.  That thing was glorious.  C'mon Sheed.  Fro don't lie.

On the way down

3: Oh Baby
– Growing up's a bitch, ain't it Glen? You've now got 8 weeks to clean
some things up in your life.  And you though waiting for a contract
this summer was bad.

2: Sign on the dotted line – Danny,
just sign the damn kid, will ya?  And Rondo, you're not Chris Paul….
yet.  You get that kind of bank in your next contract.

1: Hold the Sugar
– I get it… foul trouble, injuries, and an epic season opener against
Cleveland add up to big minutes for Ray Allen.  I just hope this is the
last of the excuses.
