Well...the Celts have proved they can win on the road. It wouldn't suck if they could finished 4th or 5th and be injury free plus well rested. They finished 5th and made to the Eastern Finals injuries and all. It didn't hurt the Bulls went down hard themselves. The east is maybe 4 deep right now. We'll see...

Beat Miami...win the title. Simple as that?

Veteran teams don't really bother playing until the playoffs. The trick is just to get them there in one piece and not exhausted.

19 and 9 during the playoffs is not breaking down. 1-8 in the 2nd round back-to-back years is breaking down. No...I stand corrected...1-8 is quitting.

Just face it dude, Celtics fucked up. Knobby-knees is running on fumes and 3 years is a long time.

Ugh so old.

So old...but came so close. Wheels coming off and still made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. If Rose doesn't comeback a 100%?...we could see a Boston/Miami rematch. I like the C's chances if healthy.

Bradley is going to start next year whether Ray resigns or not. Ray and KG are looking at 30 minutes a night. PP is looking at 33-35 when Green comes aboard. They should have their legs under 'em come playoff time.

Just remember this when we say the East is weak next year. Other then Rondo no one is really playing at a peak level and you think you can make the Conference finals, that doesn't work in the West. Why am I arguing, good luck

So you would want to have three years of Kevin Garnett for a total of over 10 or 11 million dollars a year. Kevin Garnett is 36 years old. Wouldn't you want a player like Deron Williams, Eric Gordon, Roy Hibbert , or Ryan Anderon for the same three years of a contract even if they cost more?

Rajon Rondo has three years left on his contract. Boston got a great deal with Rajon Rondo. To pay for an All Star only 11 or 12 million dollars a year is great.

I think Boston has a great chance to be the second best team in the East since Derek Rose is injured and if Dwight Howard and Joe Johnson are traded.

Rose being injured is huge. As for Orlando and Atlanta?...Boston had their way with 'em injured and all last season. But your opinion/prediction is duly noted.

As for Rondo?...he'll get his. The Celts will lose 35 million regarding cap space once the Big 3 retire.

this is a perfect move. KG probably has 1.5 seasons left in him, so a good move on his part. the best thing is, it is perfect for all involved. KG gets the 10+ mil per season and they re-sign the rest of the aging/injured roster...... and boston fan gets to pretend that they will be relevant.

best part about it for me is that the Lakers didnt win the title this year and all you hear from the fans are sentiments along the lines of "we need to get better. if that means blowing up the roster then do it"....while boston came away losers as well and they jumped at the chance to re-sign half the old folks home. again.

I get it tho. set the bar low, and you will over-achieve regularly. but to be chest pumping about going one round farther than your rival (well historically I guess as boston hasnt done anything to warrant that of late) really is a slap in your team's face. I can remember when boston was a contender. but that was many moons ago.

They had a lot go wrong and still ended up in the Eastern Conference Final. Who knows what happens if they had stayed healthy. If's and what's, huh? We'll never know.

With that said. I'm hoping they can bring back the core and maybe add Terry. That would be a solid group. We shall see.
