Boston Celtics

no thread yet so im making one.

they looked good in their first pre-season game...

garnett, pierce, and allen all played over 30 minutes and contributed nicely.

garnett had 19 points and 17 boards, pierce had 21.

should be a good year!

    My roomate has promised me the Celtics will win it all this year.

    I say the Charlotte Hornets will. (Mugsy, Kelly Tripuka, Kenny Gattison, JR Reid, Dell Curry).

    Gee, I don't know, I guess we should just forfeit the season because we for sure aren't getting past LeBron.

    I think Rondo will end up being a pretty solid point guard.

    Not an all-star, but he can manage the team just fine.

    What's the over/under on combined games played for those three this year???

    160???

    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.

    76 games for Garnett (he's the best, but his milage is up there)
    55 for Allen
    47 for Pierce.

    That's 178, and they are all a year older.

    We won't know until they actually start playing. Although less than a Finals appearance - I would agree with you.

    Any Celtics fan out there? Seems like they traded half their bench for Garnett, do they have capable supporting players?

    I agree with you on the fact that they are old.

    Pierce is only 30 though, so he isn't that old.

    I think we have a 2-3 year window to win with these guys, after that its a wash.

    I think Ainge had to do something though, and he went with the "win now" philosophy.
