boston is obviously trying to win now! this summer they went from a young and rebuilding team, to a veteran/ contender team. they changed their entire look. the wiz already have key pieces to a monster trio, we need a few more moves. we are one or two pieces away from a definite appearance in the NBA finals……… we are neck and neck with the celts! they have a big three and we havea big three, it’s just that theres is better! but our surrounding players are better than theirs by far. they need key pieces, we need one stickler, to not necessarily come in and score in the post, but a post presence to go to when needed so teams cannot just focus on tha the big three. u know just to say we have one and we can use it if we want to. also DEFENSE IN THE PAINT WITH REBOUNDING! what do u think?

someone said no PG no ring………. well remember no center no ring! well the wiz were not that bad on shot blocking at center, but etan was the only “defensive presence”. we dont need a center to come in and score, the big three puts up 35-40 shots a game alone, deshawn around 5-8 and a center gets maybe 3-4 shots, so we need them on the boards and to block shots. how about dikembe! he turned down boston, and i was in orlando the other week, and saw him going to the movies, why was he there? u know why, the magic needs a big man! and guess what we do to. we can let go of one of our high priced big men and sign mutumbo for a one year deal and draft a center next summer!

TM – good points on the Celts. I do agree that they’ve improved ten-fold and will definitely be a team contending to take the East. I just don’t think they’re the automatic lock for the Finals many are making them out to be.

Eric — The Celtics now have the best player in the NBA. This doesn’t mean they’ll win or even contend for a title, obviously, but it’s significant. They also have two more of the NBA’s elite. That’s a good thing too. Their other two starters — rondo and perkins — are pretty effective per-minute players. They don’t score, but scoring – tho necessary – is overrated in evaluating a player’s positive impact. E.g. I don’t see a lot of teams out-rebounding the Celtics this year.

You are right, their backup cast is pretty thin. But, just like planet earth, in the NBA there are few peaks and many plateaus. If the Celtics pick up some average players, they will be in good shape. What is true, however, is that they’ll have to put up with being well into luxury tax territory to put together their team. And they won’t help themselves by doing things like luring a 42 year old ex-superstar out of retirement.

The proof, as they say, is in the pudding — but for sure the upcoming season just got *a llot* more interesting. And the Wizards’ road will be bumpier.

0ARENAS0 – Gilbert was never in the Philippines. This was just a picture of him in a department store.

TM – I’m not drinking the Celtics’ kool-aid just yet and in my mind are not “*definitely*” the team to beat. On paper they may be the team to beat, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Chicago or Detroit have a better regular season than they do. Too many questions regarding the all-star trio’s supporting cast. One team they’re being compared to are the 1999 Houston Rockets.

I think the celtics are fine at pg. rondo isnt a good shooter but they dont need him to be a shooter. they need to him to penetrate and kick to the open player or drive and layup both of which he can do pretty well. they need a veteran backup though.
