    Welcome back kiddos! It's a new season, and one that greatly favors this wonderful Celtics team. Of course, I can think of a host of Raps fans who would disagree, but we all know what kind of sense they'll be ready to make when the season starts, so I'll just count them out entirely.

    Nevertheless, the Atlantic sure does look different this year, and as a result, just as I proposed last year, I'm proposing a head-to-head wager regarding that pesky Raptors squad.

    Last year's result unfortunately left us all quite disappointed, as a clause in the agreement was enacted, and neither group of supporter's got to exact their will on the their opponent's sigs.

    This year, with any luck, will be different, so let's get to the meat and potatoes.

    I will give fans two options:

    First, we can have a simple head-to-head bet, and Celtics fans and Raptors fans can enter into this bet and root their teams on in hopes of getting the prize promised. Both groups will of course have to have fans who are at least somewhat dedicated to this forum, and as a result, must meet posting requirements to be agreed upon later.

    The prizes can be discussed in this thread later on as well, but essentially the bet is: whichever team has the most wins at the end of the season gets (fill in the blank).


    Second, we could also make this an Atlantic Division bet, where all the teams in the division and their supporters are entered into the running, and from there, the team that wins the division gets to reap the rewards.

    We can decide on here as we go along.

    For the benefit of all those involved, I'm putting down my vote squarely on head-to-head match up between the C's and the Raps, with one year's worth of sigs to be published BY the winners, FOR the losers, same as last year. That's one calendar year of sigs to be designed by the winning supporters for the losing supporters.

    Now how about you guys?

    I would like to be the first recruit to accept on the Celtics behalf. Whatever the prize is, I'm down for, but 1 year of sigs sounds fine to me. And I would like to include the entire Atlantic too because I think we have the most dominate team in the Atlantic Division.

    I'm definitely down.

    Preferably, we could get in 4 out of the 5 Atlantic teams. The Nets, Celtics, Knicks, and Raptors are all pretty evenly matched up this year and I think it'd be cool to bet on which team will win the Division this year. It all comes down to the number of posters, I guess. We know the Celtics and Raptors will have enough fans and I think the Nets would too. Not so sure about the Knicks.

    I did vote last year for the Celtics. This year I don't think they'll disappoint so I'll put in for them again this year.

    I'm down too.

    1 year, good for the Celtic fans, they sure don't want to reppin a Raptor sig for more then that. I want the whole Atlantic divison too. It would be more fun that way.

    Love some Sam Mitchell, he continues to prove he knows the game of basketball, once being the mentor of Garnett. But its about time that Garnett time is unlessed in Green, hes the true Green Monster of Boston.
