2012 PLAY-OFFS --- "GANG GREEN" LOOKING TO SEPARATE WITH RINGS AS PARTING GIFTS

After a mid-February "5 game slump, the "GENTLEMAN OF GANG GREEN" have not lost more than 2 in a row. And after 2 game losing streak since, they always have bounced back with at least 2 in a row. In some cases as many as 5 straight...... Currently on a 4 game streak that has seen them pull out wins over the likes of Miami, Atlanta, Philly and Indiana.

The Atl win is a key victory because at the moment that could end up being the Celts first round playoff match-up...... And Miami and Indy are ranked above them, but the Celts hold a 2-1 season series advantage over Miami. And unlike last year, the Celts have some new energetic youngsters in the fold that aren't ready to hang it up against anyone.

Avery Bradley and Brandon Bass had given the Celtics that depth they need......... And recently, Bradley has replaced Mr Ray "3x3" Allen in the starting lineup and has averaged 11pts 3rebs in his last 10 games.

Then you have "The BB-GUN" Brandon Bass complimenting KG's 19 and 8 for the last 10 games with 15ppg and 12rebs of his own. The youngsters have come to play and the C's are gaining serious momentum headed into the 2012 NBA play-offs. The only thing the Celtics needed to compete was a way to get rest. And I think they've found it.

You add these two to the super point guard Rajon "Real Deal" Rondo and you have a problem Eastern Conference........... The elders have come back to do it one more time before the re-structuring.
