On first blush Celtic fans have every reason to be jazzed over the additions of PJ Brown and (probably) Sam Cassell. The thought of them on the court down the stretch of a playoff game will bring a smile to the face of every diehard. But what they provide off the court may be even more important. PJ Brown has only been here a few days and Perk suddenly has maybe his best game as a Celtic. For the past 2 weeks Glen Davis and Leon Powe each has put up terrific numbers every time Doc has called their name. And last night with the pending signing of Sam Cassell being whispered throughout the Garden, Rondo drops 16 assists on the Bobcats. Athletes are at their best when challenged and minutes in the pro game are precious. Brown and Cassell may bring out the best in Perkins, Davis, Powe and Rondo simply by being in the room. Sure looks like a win-win to me.
