It would just make my year if they kick the shit out of miami.
Well I was close to my prediction coming true last season. I straight out said the C's would win another ring and came close.
Um, no. There's no stopping the Heat. Big 3 aside, they lineup as:
C Zydrunas Ilgauskas
PF Udonis Haslem
SF James Jones
SG Mike Miller
PG Carlos Arroyo
That lineup is decent enough to hold their own against Boston. Then you add a top 10 player in Bosh and 2 of the top 3 players in LeBron and Wade......yeah, no chance Celtics. Enjoy Bigger Baby O'Neal.
Is it gonna happen.
Well shit dude, way to go really far out on a limb there
The roster as it stands now has an outside shot at winning a ring. If Danny can pull a rabbit out of his hat and get a Shane Battier or James Posey for Sheed's contract then I am ready to drink the KoolAde again.
When Perk comes back our roster is silly deep.
KG
Perk
Pierce
Ray
Rondo
Shaq
Jermaine O'Neal
BBD
Nate
Daniels
Bradley
Wafer
(with a couple of empty roster spots ... wouldn't Battier or Posey fit in so nicely?)
The Celtics proved that the regular season doesn't matter. All they need to do is get into the playoffs and 45 wins should do it. The key is health and Doc managing minutes. With the goal of getting into the playoffs healthy there is no reason for anyone on the roster except Rondo to play more than 35 minutes in a regular season game. Ray Allen in particular, IMO, needs to take a big step back in minutes per game ... he has average nearly 36 since joining the green and that number needs to be more like 26-28 if we want him to actually hit shots in the post season ... homeboy had no legs in the finals.
To be frank, I really don't want to see anyone except Rondo average more than 30 mintues a game during the pre-post-season.
Of course this means Doc will have to actually play Avery Bradley. I know it kills him to give rookies playing time for whatever reason but IMO they need to do more to develop their young players. The practically gave Bill Walker away and granted he's inconsistent right now but he went to NY and had some big games because they actually put him on the court.
Oh, and with all of those bigs don't be a bunch of pansies come playoff times. You got six fouls each. Use them and use them effectively. I want to see Kobe, Wade, Rose, Lebron, etc getting hammered when they go to the hole and slow to get up and take their free throws. I want to see Pau Gasol all slumped shouldered because the big boys aren't playing nice on the inside. Other teams did it to Rondo and our bigs last year and it worked. There's no reason we shouldn't do the same.
Well I was close to my prediction coming true last season. I straight out said the C's would win another ring and came close. I think barring any injuries that were obviously bothering Garnett and everyone staying relatively healthy, we can make a run.
Pierce, KG, Allen, Shaq, and Rondo.

Make them a jump shooting team and you got a shot.

LOL, with slashers like LBJ and Wade, and a great post player like Bosh, good luck! Not to mention Miller is one of the best 3pt shooters in the game and they have some other guy that is 3pt specialist also.
Orlando couldn't get it done last season. What have they done to make themselves better?
I agree that the Bulls will be tough.
Does Shaq have a drug history ?
but the C's have gotten old.

This is so funny.
Yeah, they've gotten a whole couple months older than they were when they took the Lakers to game 7 of the Finals. I'm perplexed that their Big 3 haven't retired yet
