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.
