I’ll be finding the positives and finding ways to enjoy watching the Celtics play. I bleed/cry green.
It's not all bad news in Boston
I agree with some of your points. What I’m saying is that even in a season where the C’s won’t win many games, there’s still some cool stuff to look at for fans. It’s not the end of the world, patience is required. I don’t think there’s any doubt that Ainge and co. know what they’re doing. Sure, there’s some seriously middle of the road players, but there has to be some good basketball played for any of those bargaining chips to be worth anything (exception of Rondo, he has star value regardless).

I really hope he stays and the team can be built around him. He’s such a good passer. Pass-first point guards are my favourite style of player in the NBA.

Faverani has a huge frame. He’s 6’11” to Olynyk’s 7’0″, but so much thicker through the hips and upper body. He’s a great blocker.

“Assembled to stink” is a bit of an overstatement in my opinion. It’s an environment specifically designed to help bring on the Celtics’ younger players for the longer term – guys like Olynyk and Sullinger. Yes, there are some guys on the roster who are short term guys. Incredibly short term in some cases. The stats are based on four games and if it’s too early for me to say Vitor slipped through the system, it’s way to early to call Olynyk a solid back-up centre. Sully’s numbers are based on limited minutes (injury, being behind the big stars last year).

Ainge loves a big move, you’re right. Let’s wait and see. So happy the Celtics got off the 0!

All good points. I wrote this before the Jazz game yesterday. So glad the Celtics got the win! Olynyk will come through more and more as the season goes on.

Joaquim Rodriguez take your hat off – he wins the stage and the maximum time bonus ahead of Contador. Incredible stuff.

Contador has attacked again, what a fighter. J-Rod is still there.

Rodriguez has made it up to Contador, outstanding effort from the red jersey.

Froome is in a world of pain as Rodriguez jumps and tries to catch Contador!

Chris Froome has made it back to Valverde, Rodriguez and Moreno. Gallant effort from the man they call Froome-Dog. And now he’s on the attack. My goodness me that shows heart.

Contador has launched his most explosive attack yet! He looks to be off to the races. Will there be a response?
Vuelta a Espana stage 14: Live updates, blog
Froome and his Sky teammates are chasing hard to catch the Contador group. Andrew Talansky (Garmin-Sharp) is the man bridging the gap. Yes, Talansky has made it to the lead group.

Such a valid option haha, I feel you. I’m just a natural optimist. Finding the good things is pretty essential to helping me maintain my interest.
