That's 178, and they are all a year older.
Pierce should play in anouther 20+ games this year

The young guys learned alot last year when he was not playing

the Celtics should be at least the 4th seed in the east

    I expect them to get first or second in the Atlantic...Which will be good for a 3 seed at best, a 6 at worst.

    Stop looking at age with NBA players, and look at games played and minutes played.

    Any Celtics fan out there? Seems like they traded half their bench for Garnett, do they have capable supporting players?
    yeah I feel They have some good guys on the bench.
    But they gave up a few Key Players

    Those guys are old, and Pierce and Allen don't play D.

    Pistons, Bulls, Cavs are the class of the East. And please don't compare Bron Bron to any of your guys.
    The Cavs aren't going anywhere if they can't get Varejao and Pavlovic signed, and that's not looking good right now.

    Detroit's another year older as well, and I'm not sure Flip is a guy who can get them to play at a championship level. The Pistons aren't exactly fantastic in the front court either. Sheed is still Sheed, but Mohammed isn't any better than Perkins at this point in his career and McDyess ages in dog years.

    Chicago is still a post player away from being considered a team that is better than the Celtics. Deng should be an All-Star this year, but they don't have a single player who is effective down on the block.

    Meanwhile, few teams in the NBA have two elite defenders (Garnett and Rondo) and three guys with the ability to play at an All-Star level. Yes, the Celtics are thin and yes Doc Rivers is coaching them, but they will be right in the mix this year.

    I actually don't see Detroit having a problem this year...Nazr isn't going to play, they are going to go small most the time, I think.

    Dice will start and I expect Maxiell to get plenty of PT this year. Sheed is money when he wants to be. Everyone in the league has a boner for Amir Johnson, saying that if he had went to college, he would've been a top 5 pick in the draft.

    People are talking like Stuckey was the steal of the draft...It's like we got two top 10 draft picks to a team that underachieved last year....GO PISTONS.

    The Celtics will definitely be a factor this year.

    Sorry if that upsets you cruscott, and your Pistons.

    Re: 2007 Boston Celtics

    The Pistons still aren't a team suited to playing the kind of ball Flip coaches. Stuckey and Maxiell are players in that direction, but I still don't think he's the right guy for that team.

    Also, if you're going to cite games played as the measuring tool of whether or not guys are going to stay healthy it's worth nothing that Billups, Rip and Sheed have less than one season of fewer experience than Boston's trio. And that's just regular season games. Those guys all have more tread on their tires than the guys in Boston do as well. It's interesting how you haven't brought up how this could impact Detroit ...

    Did a search for 2006 Boston Celtics, then 2005, then 2004, then 2003.....funny how all the fans come out of nowhere, very interesting. Didn't know we had some many diehards till about three months ago.

    Most Celtics fans are fans, they are just quiet about it. I have some Celtics tee shirts and whatnot lying around that I wear, but I guess Celtics fans are the opposite of, say, eagles fans.

    We haven't won shit in, like, 20 years, so we aren't going to run our mouths

    This quote should be added to the definition of a fair weather fan. I'm just pointing out that I think it's lame that all these fans come out of the wood work but probably couldn't name three players for lets say the 2005 roster. And now all of a sudden they're super excited about being a Celtics fan.

    What does Al Jefferson have to do with anything? Five years from now he's going to be better than anyone the Celts have on their roster.

    I realize why fans would be excited, I personally think they've got to be in the top two in the East easily. Their bench might be questionable but with that starting lineup they're going to be running over most of the east and unfortunately it's another formidable team that my Magic have to deal with. Hopefully Lewis can provide 25 a game because he sure as hell is getting paid for it. And anyone who says Garnett is too old is fool, that man is a freak and I preferred him in the west.

    yeah i know everyone thinks 30 is too old in the NBA now, its really not....

    we have some players who might be a surprise off the bench

    Pollard, Eddie House, James Posey....
