Celtics Suiting Up a College Team

Have you ever had the desire to watch a college team play in the NBA, well if that has ever been a part of your wishes, tune into the Celtics over the course of the next few days. Why? Well according to Boston.com Paul Pierce will be out for 2 weeks. Combine this with the fact that Wally Szczerbiak will be out for a few more games and the Celtics will be suiting up the closest thing to a college basketball team in NBA history. Hell even Scalabrine and Ratliff are out as well, and Olowokandi hasn't played in awhile due to an oblique strain.

Current Roster Minus Pierce and Szczerbiak

Ryan Gomes, 24
Sebastian Telfair, 21
Al Jefferson, 21
Tony Allen, 24
Rajon Rondo, 20
Allan Ray, 22
Delonte West, 23
Leon Powe, 22
Gerald Green, 20

That's the list of players who in addition to Pierce received game time last night against the Warriors. So to put it bluntly without Pierce playing the Celtics will suit up zero players above the age of 25. Meaning only two players who are older then myself, god I feel old now.

If any team loses to the Celtics without Pierce they should immediately hand in their NBA Franchise cards and disband the entire organization. Keep in mind that going into last night the Celtics were in fact leading the Atlantic division but with this little problem could quickly sink to the bottom which would establish a 4 week trend having them Leading the Atlantic 3 weeks ago, to last 2 weeks ago, to first this week, to perhaps last again next week. Gotta Love the NBA.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
