Sam I Am

Josh Q. Public:  Yeah, you don’t know what is like when you try, and you try, and you try, and you try, and you don’t ever get there!  Because you were born perfect and I was born like this, and you’re perfect!  -Sam I Am 

Public Service Announcement:  OK, here we go!  Would you like him in a house?  Would you like him with a mouse?  Would you like him in the green?  Would you like him with Scalabrine?  I do like him in my house.  I do like him with a mouse.  That Sam-I-am!  That Sam-I-Am!  I do like that Sam-I-Am!  Rajon Rondo and his freakishly large hands have been hobbled as of late.  The Celtics have struggled to set up the offense quickly and efficiently with Tony Allen running the point.  The Celtics have struggled to set up the offense quickly and efficiently with Eddie House running the point.  The Celtics recently endured their first skid of the season.  The Celtics recently endured losing three of four before getting back.  Back on track.  Back on the attack.  Back in the black.  Yes, Rondo’s injury is minor.  But still.  Even with Rondo back in the starting line-up the Celtics have a glaring hole at back-up.  I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in and stops my mind from wandering.  The Celtics need to fill the cracks that run though the door and keeps their minds from wandering.  They need to fix that hole with Sam Cassell.  Cassell is 38 and in the final year of a two-year contract.  A contract that is becoming increasingly closer to a buyout.  Boston is the perfect fit.  Cassell and Kevin Garnett are tight.  BFF.  So tight that it’s difficult to imagine Cassell choosing to sign anywhere but Boston.  And that’s good news for Celtics’ fans.  He’s still got it.  Lovin’, is what I got, I said remember that.  He still is capable of scoring outbursts.  He just pumped in 22 against the Nets for an overtime win.  He just pumped in 32 points in a shocking upset of Phoenix.  I shook the world!  Sam Cassell can help the Celtics shake the world.  Sam Cassell is the missing link.  The missing Lancelot Link.  He has something the Big Three do not have.  He actually has two somethings the Big Three do not have.  He’s got two rings.  That kind of veteran presence is invaluable.  What does that mean, in-famous?  Oh, Dusty.  In-famous is when you’re MORE than famous.  This man El Guapo, he’s not just famous, he’s IN-famous.  100,000 pesos to perform with this El Guapo, who’s probably the biggest actor to come out of Mexico!  Wow, in-famous?  In-famous?  Cassell would be an invaluable veteran leader.  He helped lead the Rockets to two NBA Championships.  He helped lead the Milwaukee Bucks to the Eastern Conference Finals.  He helped lead the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history.  He can help lead this team.  Lead them to the Promised Land.  Mister I ain’t a boy, no I’m a man.  And I believe in a promised land.  I believe in Sam I Am.

Adding Cassell would be another terrific move for Ainge.

Sam I Am is a winner. Always has been, always will be.

He has good size as well. That will come in handy when/if you meet Billups and the Pistons in the postseason.

His age really wouldn't be a factor in the East. I can't think of a PG on a contending team in the East with great athleticism.

Hinrich, Billups, Kidd, Jameer Nelson...Arenus is hurt. Plus you can put Ray Allen on anyone giving Cassell problems.

two quality well thought out b ball posts, hmm, what am i to make of this? is someone losing confidence in their f ball team? is someone trying to change the subject a week early? by no means is this a criticism, you know how i feel about the love fest .

cassell would be a good short term addition. might want to think younger?

Green Eggs and SAM!
I love the Sam man.
As a post college resident of Houston during the Dream years it was great to see the team have a NBA Repeat during the MJ gambling sabatical.

I would hate to see Sam leave my Clippers. His leadership IS invaluable! But if there was a team to got to, the Celtics would be the obvious choice.
Nice one Josh!
