Just read this off an article from DraftExpress.com and thought I’d share it. It shows the past three drafts that we had, the current depth chart and a quick blurb on how weak our bench really is/was. Give it a read and let me know what you think (after the break)…

Tony Allen Has Successful Surgery

From RealGM.com:

The Boston Celtics announced Wednesday that guard Tony Allen underwent successful arthroscopic right ankle surgery and posterior tibial tendon repair at the New England Baptist Hospital.

Surgery was performed by Team Physician Dr. Brian McKeon and assisted by Dr. Mark Slovenkai and Jason Rand, PAC. Full recovery is expected with return by training camp this fall.

Great to see everything went well for Tony, but I’d personally like to see his bags packed with Scalabrine in order to bring in a good bench player that will contribute consistently all season and help bring the title back to Boston. Tony Allen has had some great moments in Boston, but his inconsistency and awful decision making has only held his career back and it is time to get him out.

KG is Excited!

Via Twitter.com/celtics:

Wyc: “I saw KG this morning, he’s feeling great and he’s the most fired up he’s ever been. For KG, that’s saying something.”

If this doesn’t make you want next season to start tomorrow, then I don’t know what would. Granted, the off-season is always a lot of fun with the draft, free agency and the summer league, but nothing is the same as the playoffs and with Kevin Garnett back and healthy, the Celtics are still the best team in the East.
