Lex and I have been going back and forth about how Jeff Green will fit into the rotation and what to expect from him this season. I'm willing to throw out what he has done in the past and start with a clean slate. He will be playing his natural small forward position for the first time in his pro career. He also is coming off heart surgery that could have been fatal if not caught in time. A near death experience has a way of changing a player's approach to the game, as it did with Paul Pierce all those years ago. He has vowed to be more aggressive and I believe that he will.
Lex has some videos of Green dunking and blocking shots and showing how athletic he is. He's going to give the Celtics a very long and athletic small forward who will be tough for a lot of teams to match up with. He will also be able to play the four when the Celtics choose to go to a small running lineup. He's quick, athletic, has good hands, has good footwork, and can shoot the ball...

Lex did it again. He got me thinking. He's pretty good at doing that. Whether it's on his blog Lex Nihil Novi with thought provoking posts like his post on Jeff Green or with videos and commentary on the good old days. But it was a comment on my post about Rondo wanting to be the best point guard in Celtics history that got me thinking this time.

Paul Pierce Buried Alive Under Sand By Children at Beach (Photo)
Paul Pierce thought he would have a relaxing day at the beach. The next thing he knew, he was buried alive. OK, so Pierce was only buried up to his neck, and he probably could have shaken off the sand pretty easily, but for a minute there you were worried. Admit it. The Celtics captain tweeted a photo of himself getting the standard daddy treatment at the beach. Still, there always...
Paul Pierce neck deep in beach sand
While Rajon Rondo is busy flying all over the Far East, Paul Pierce is taking a more relaxed approached to final days of summer – beach time with his kids.
The Truth tweeted these pictures yesterday afternoon. I’m guessing he’s somewhere in California and not Revere beach.
Nothing screams fun like a crotch full of sand.
