Future Looks Bright for Celtics

Now that I've had a chance to catch my breath from that epic Celtics Bulls series, I look to a future that seems pretty bright for Boston. The emergence of Rajon Rondo and Glen "Big Baby" Davis will have the Celtics going in the right direction as they transition out of the Big 3 era. Rondo was a couple of rebounds short of becoming the first player to average a triple double in a seven game series. A fearless point guard with game changing speed, Rondo edged out Ray Allen as my first round MVP. Davis, who is seeing an increased role due to the injury to Kevin Garnett, has played very well in his absence. Big Baby averaged 18.1 points per game in his first series as a starter. Garnett averaged 18.2 points per game in last year's NBA finals. The league is getting younger, just ask Detroit and San Antonio. The Chicago Bulls are one of the younger, more athletic teams in the league. Rondo and Davis's ability to match that youth and athleticism was a key factor in their victory. Regardless of the outcome of their series with the Magic, the Celtics should be encouraged by the fact their "window" has been propped back open.
