A game against Blake Griffin is a pretty good way to introduce Jeff Green and Krstic to the Celtics. Might not be the perfect scenario (at home against an even more terrible team, if that's even possible). Let's just say things went a bit better than expected.
The game started out with the Celtics shooting 33% from the floor at the end of 1 and being down by 6 at halftime. After a collective gasp from C's fans, most came back to earth remembering that this is a playoff ready team who might not be very healthy but are sure ready to win. The 3rd was a back and forth battle which ultimately ended with the Celtics lighting it up in the 4th. On to the new guys!
Krstic passed my expectations. 9 points and 6 rebounds. And wait for this part.... all 6 were offensive rebounds. C's now have an offensive rebounder who offensive might be better than Perk. Green was a bit more quiet going 2-5 with 7 points, a block and a -10 +/-. Ew.
With Green meshing more into the team and maybe CJ getting a bit more suited for the NBA, the Celtics are still a team that can destroy opponents.
