Update: Gomes Style
It’s getting to the point where we should probably rename the blog or something. Here’s some more on Green #4.
In his first start against the Blazers, Ryan played 36 minutes. He went 2-for-4 from the floor, netting 4 points. He also pulled down a hearty 9 rebounds, four on the offensive end. Oh yeah, the Green Machine also won.
His second start was even more impressive. He played 44 minutes in yesterday’s game against the Magic. Remember that last Thursday he was just averaging 8 ½ minutes a game. Considering this guy has been piling up DNP-CD’s (Did Not Play-Coach’s Decision) for the last few months, this is a very promising sign for the young forward. In his 44 minutes, he posted a career-high 14 points and another 9 rebounds. Throw in 2 steals (and another win for the Green) and that’s what I call magic.
For shits and giggles, here's the link to the best Celtics-related blog on the net.
Let’s just say, I’m thinking about laying down some jack for the NBA League Pass. HOLLA FRIARS!!!

I witnessed the first game for Mr. Gomes. My dad, bro and I were there looking at the scoreboard before the game, when the starting lineup changed to show Gomes's number (Scalabrine was slotted to start until 15 minutes before the game). The score truly does not show how well he played, as he was picking opponents left and right to give clean shots, and then getting in there for the rebound.
In one word, AWESOME
That's pretty fantastic. I watched A LOT of Gomes during his time at PC and it was an absolute joy. In his four years, he went from being a chubby kid to an underrated post presence to the best player in the league.
I would have killed to have been there. I still think that, with time, he'll develop into a great pro. My only worry is that he'll get moved as a throw-in piece in a trade.
