Speak about a primary impression. Robby’s first piece at CelticsBlog is a spirited debate with veteran Adam Taylor relating to Boston’s wing depth and who may get some taking part in day off the bench: Jordan Walsh or Baylor Scheierman? Right here’s extra about Robby.
What bought you into basketball and the Celtics?
My first foray into the Celtics fandom was in 2004, proper across the time I discovered a Ricky Davis card in an Higher Deck pack. Rising up between Madison, Wisconsin and Richmond, Virginia, there weren’t many alternatives to see video games on TV till the formation of the Massive 3, so after I did lastly see them constantly, I bought accustomed to their successful methods fairly quick.
In faculty, the 2017-18 season gave me unprecedented hoops entry due to a League Move account shared by a few dozen individuals and a gaggle of pals who liked the sport. That was after I turned hooked and determined to dedicate as a lot time as I may into understanding this sport. It’s been a borderline unhealthy obsession ever since.
What are your strengths and/or favourite matters as a author?
Personally, I like tackling characteristic content material. Tales that require tons of analysis and interviews that may inform a full narrative attraction to me, and so they permit me to make use of the talents I’ve as a author to craft one thing significant and hopefully entertaining.
I additionally love studying from the previous. I’m a sucker for nostalgia and the way the video games and tales of the previous can present us readability to what we see immediately. There are such a lot of Celtics video games that I can pinpoint the precise time and place I used to be at once they had been stay. Exploring these areas of this sport are a few of my favourite methods to search out inspiration in future tales.
What’s your daring prediction for the approaching season?
Is a Finals repeat daring sufficient? Perhaps not, so I’ll attempt one thing a bit completely different. The report for many All-Stars from a single workforce is 4, which has occurred 9 instances, the final of which got here within the 2018 ASG after the Warriors introduced Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Inexperienced into Los Angeles. I believe this workforce turns into the subsequent to do it, and the primary Celtics quartet to do it since 2011. The Derrick White All-Star chants can solely get louder after final season, proper?
