Celtics: It's not Just Three for the Show

In the BOSTON GLOBE, Marc J. Spears writes, "The Celtics' new star trio of Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce is on the cover of Sports Illustrated's and ESPN the Magazine's NBA previews, not the reigning champion Spurs. ESPN sent a private jet for the three to film commercials in Bristol, Co nn., NBA's Inside Stuff interviewed them in Rome, and TNT's John Thompson flew to New York to ask them questions. There are 19 Celtics games scheduled for ESPN, TNT, and NBATV, with more nationally televised contests possible. The majority of home games are sold out, their jerseys are flying off the shelves, and their slogan this season is the far-from-shy "THINK BIG. Yes, green is the new color of the NBA, even though today's Celtics have yet to play a real game together. Boston's heralded trio and coach Doc Rivers, however, won't believe the hype.” <p> <b>Check Out:</b> <a href="http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/articles/2007/10/30/its_not_just_three_for_the_show/">Boston Globe</a> | <a href="http://www.nba.com/celtics">Boston Celtics</a>
