Sheed looking for a Title with the Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics can’t be happy. Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce can’t be happy. Without Kevin Garnett, the Celtics simply weren’t the same team during the 2009 playoffs and greatly suffered without him, ultimately losing a seven game series to the Orlando Magic.
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.
The Boston Celtics hope that everyone on the roster can stay healthy – especially for another championship run this season. The Boston Celtics finished the season with a 62-20 record despite Kevin Garnett missing 25 games – that shows how good the Celtics are.
Essentially everyone from last year will be back in action. The big three (Garnett, Pierce, Allen) are all back in tow, and Rajon Rondo, Leon Powe, Glen Davis, and the rest of the supporting cast are there as well. Out is Stephon Marbury, which may in fact be a good thing for the team.
Rasheed Wallace joins the Celtics after a disappointing season with the Detroit Pistons. This might also be one of the last seasons Rasheed Wallace has a chance to win a NBA title – he is 35 years old and in NBA years that’s much older.
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.
The Magic have bolstered their roster with Vince Carter, and the Cavs have recruited Shaquille O’Neal. Wallace is a necessity in Boston, as the level of competition has been upped yet another notch.
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.
