We all wanted KG.
Now he's Celt paired with new addition Ray Allen.
Paul P. is still a great finishing SF. [Almost as good as RonRon?]
Call your shot on win improvment.
They won 24 last year. HaHaHa wasn't that sweet of them?

I don't think they get to 50, but I think they get into the playoffs. They don't have a bench. Those Big 3 will play a lot of minutes, and I think one guy gets hurt. I just can't see 'em staying healthy all season long.

I think it will take them the first half of the season to get the chemistry worked out and they will finish the second half strong primed for the playoffs. They will be hungry for it too...unlike the Pistons teams under Flip.

They'll be a streaky team trying to find their karma. Expect ups and downs like the Lions of Barry Sanders days............

The weakness of the Celtics may be Coach Rivers...I resent you comparing Lions legend Wayne Fontes to a coach like Doc.

He was the best man ever to drive a golf cart...........

51 wins.

I am done rating a team that has new players and haven`t played one minute together.

Remember the Lakers a few years back, there were probably championship hats and shirts made during preseason with the Payton, Shaq, Kobe & Malone crew. We all know what happened there.

A similar situation happened in football a few yeasr back when the Redskins put together a team that was destined (or so everyone thought) for Super Bowl greatness. You know, the team, it featured Deion Sanders and a host of other Pro Bowlers, they too fell flat on their faces.

I don`t believe there have ever been a team assembled of great talent that has went on and done great things in the first year together.

An injury here, a losing streak there, could cause major problems. Let`s just wait and see what happens.

c'mon dlev! tap your inner nostradamus! no one really cares if you are right or wrong. it's not like your readership will slip.

I'm not sure we're going to see Rajon Rondo break out this year but he should have that up and down performance with some nice ups. The focus those <big 3> guys will get will make it easier for the other guys to look good. all they need are some defensive guys. Ainge will be working the phones. 50 seems a bit high to me but I'll go out on a limb for later ridicule
