Boston's 5 Partisans

This very moment in a large sunlit room Bill Walton is sitting cross legged on a pillow with a pen in his hand and a pad in his lap. The ex-Celtic and current ESPN broadcaster is feverishly writing rants for this season's nationally televised Celtic games. Televised and Celtics you say? Queue Walton, 'After the deal for the Warrior named Kevin Garnett Boston hasn't been this excited about basketball since the days of Larry Bird whose talent was much like that of Barbad the Great the famous court musician of the Sassanid Empire of Persia! The Sassanid empire was the fourth imperial dynasty of Iran..' It goes on from there and it only gets better, thanks Bill. On Tuesday July the 31st Timberwolve fans everywhere had to part with the only significant thing to ever happen in 'Sota. GM Kevin Mchale hooked up his old team by giving away KG for a fistful of draft picks and Sebastian Telfair? Well, maybe other players were involved but whatever. This trade is great for the game of basketball because we will know if (Below, middle 3 from left) Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are for real or just dudes that put up fat regular season numbers.

The picture above is a sculpture in Boston called 'The Partisans' which honors WW2 era Polish guerrilla soldiers. Formerly in the Boston Commons the statue has been given a new home, while on a tour in Boston years ago a native told me it was the Celtic's starting five, hanging their heads low because they didn't make the playoffs. Danny Ainge (Above, far left) has given a whole city hope with 2 blockbuster trades, Coach Doc Rivers (Above, far right) is already feeling the pressure.
