The third week is now approaching the NBA season and the Boston Celtics are the only team remaining with an astounding perfect record of 5-0. Unfortunately my Pistons encountered their first loss of the season last week against the Chicago Bulls, with a final tally of 97-92.
A lot of talk has been brought up about the Celtics 5-0 record so far this year. If you ask me I feel that their victories are based on the team high scoring trio of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett. The three players act as if they have been playing together for years. Yes all three are talented players, but the reason why the three click so well and the Celtics have been so successful this year is due to what each bring to the table offensively. Each have different offensive games, Paul Pierce is proficient at getting creating space for his own shot, Ray Allen moves well without the ball and has a jump shot, and Kevin Garnett producer from the high and low post.
With their wins it has moved the Celtics up in the power rankings pushing my Detroit Pistons down. We’ll see how long this streak of theirs lasts, like forward of Net’s Richard Jefferson stated, “they are not going to be undefeated all year.” I am seeing the Celtics playing the role that the Mavericks did last year, playing their hearts out the whole season than going home in the playoffs.

Your analysis of the Celtics players is really interesting, especially the talk of what the players each individually bring to the game. That short discussion really showed me what I'm missing by not watching the games. Now that's sports writing!
Now work on the word choices here. In a few places you lost me (lose/lost, being/bring). Tighten your observations with the exact words to bring this discussion exactly to where you want it.
