"The Bulldogs, Roxbury, and Boston is what I represent..."
Ed O.G. and Da Bulldogs - I Got To Have It
Things have changed drastically this offseason as teams and players alike are making moves as if there is no tomorrow.

The Boston Celtics sat patiently during the recent free agent circus...that is until last week when they made waves throughout the league by signing veteran forward Rasheed A. Wallace. The versatile, and oft times misunderstood big man is exactly what the C's need as they prepare to win title number 2 in the last 3 years. Wallace is the perfect counterattack to the Ron Artest move the Lakers made.
I see it like this, and please don't get me wrong...Anthony Gilbert does not make predictions, however it's like the 1980's all over again. The team of that decade was clearly the Lakers with championships in '80, '82, '85, '87, and '88, but they had some company as Boston won it all in '81, '84, and '86. The point I'm making here is that you can expect these two teams to win a few more rings in the next couple of years. The rivalry is back and will be in full bloom once the season begins.
With 'Sheed...say what you will, but the man is a winner. I recall watching him when he played here in Philly at Simon Gratz H.S. As an ambidextrous 6-foot, 11-inch power forward, there is nothing he cannot do on the basketball court.
Now I could be wrong, but I have a strong feeling about this one...
