A preview of the ‘09-’10 Boston Celtics
The last 2 seasons for the Boston Celtics have been wild to say the least. The Celtic defeated the favored Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals in 08′ for the Celtics 17th championship.
After one of the most exciting playoffs series, first round or not, against the Chicago Bulls the Celtics didn’t have enough to put away the Orlando Magic. It was a shame the Celtics didn’t have the opportunity to defend their 08′ championship at full strength.
If the Celtics had a healthy Kevin Garnett there is no reason they could not repeat as champions – the Celtics nearly beat the Orlando Magic without Garnett in the second round.
The “Big Three” for the Celtics – Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen are not getting any younger so this could be one of the last seasons the Celtics have a legitimate chance at winning the title.
Originally the Boston Celtics had the “Big Three” with Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen – points during the season last year it was the “Big Four” with Rondo included.
In is Rasheed Wallace. A seasoned veteran with playoff experience and enough talent to still play some highly effective basketball, Sheed will add a much needed lift to the Celtics, who will be forced to compete with a competitive set of teams.
Glen “Big Baby” Davis has his best season in 09′ making a game winning shot against the Orlando Magic in the second round. Davis will have to continue to improve his game if the Celtics expect to make another serious playoff push.
Wallace won a championship in 04′ with the Detroit Pistons and is no stranger in playing in important games in the spring and summer time.
