KG, one of my favorite players in the NBA is leaving Minnesota and taking his game to Boston. This is big news; this makes the Celtics instant contenders in the East and the NBA at large. It is reminiscent of Shaq going to Miami and bringing home a trophy that first year. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen already formed a formidable back court, now anchor that team with Big Ticket and you have on paper a very difficult team to beat. If the 3 of them mesh well I can easily see them taking the East and winning the Eastern Conference finals. I should buy some Lakers and Clippers tickets soon... would be awesome to see KG, Allen, & Pierce play together (that is almost like an All-Star team). On a side note; K and I did see KG up close and personal when we went to a game in Philly. It was one of the last games that AI played before being deported to Denver. We payed $15 for nose bleeder seats but eventually found ourselves down at courtside. We were 6 or 7 rows right behind the Timberwolves bench; best $15 ever spent. KG is my idol.

This should be a fun season in the NBA. I can't wait to see how these guys mesh together. I don't think they will win a championship this year but they are sure contenders for the Eastern Conference Championship.
If the Lakers don't do any good moves this off season (which looks like they won't), I might jump off the wagon and hop on the Celtics one. :)
