Happy Anniversary!

So yesterday was our 3rd anniversary. We really don't do a whole lot to celebrate since if you think about it, all an anniversary is saying is "yay, another year were we didn't break up!", which is a little too pessimistic for me. I did bring the misses flowers and cook her dinner (shrimp scampi mmmmm), but besides that it was pretty much a normal night. So congrats to us for not breaking up last year! Let's try for one more!!!
Some random thought:
  • The Celtics. Can you believe the season so far? Allen, Pierce and Garnett all averaging 20 points/game or more. Garnett being a beast on the boards bringing down 12+ rebounds a game. There are a couple of caveats however. The have yet to go out west and play the juggernauts out there. For the most part, they've beat the teams they're supposed to beat and taken care of business. The month of December well be a true test however, with a trip out west and thru Chicago, Milwaukee and Toronto. The schedule gods have been very nice to this team though, with only 14 games in the month and only 3 sets of back to back games. I wouldn't be shocked if they went 10-4 or 9-5 in the month.
    The kids have been playing well as of late too. I'd like to see Perkins get more rebounds and Rondo get a couple more assists, but for the most part, no complaints. Ronda can beat pretty much anyone off the dribble; he just needs to be a little more aggressive and assertive.
    And the best sign to date, Doc Rivers who's notoriously bad at using his bench, seems to have a rotation down. Granted it gets tweaked depending on the opponent, but for the most part its House, Tony Allen and James Posey first off the bench. Davis has been playing well, but I'm slightly concerned with his itchy trigger, as he immediately looks for his shot every time he touches the ball. He needs to realize who's on his team and who's on the floor with him, and when to shoot and when to pass and run the offense.
    Can't wait for this season to play out though…
  • Great win by the Pats Sunday night. They didn't play as well as they have in the past, Phily played way above their heads, and NE still managed to win. That's a very good sign for this team.
  • Great seeing everyone over Thanksgiving. Hopefully we'll get to see those of you we missed over Christmas.
  • Legally, today is our anniversary, as the minister put the wrong date on our marriage certificate. So Happy Anniversary, part II, to my lovely wife!
