Big Sports Year in Boston
It's looking very promising for the sports fans in the Boston area. The Red Sox are looking good and have to be among the two or three favorites to win the World Series. The Patriots added Randy Moss and have to be among the two or three favorites to win the Super Bowl. Today, the Celtics pretty much agreed to a deal to bring Kevin Garnett to town and along with the addition of Ray Allen, with those two teaming with Paul Pierce, the Celtics have to be considered one of the top two or three teams to win the East and maybe one of the five or six favorites to win the whole thing.
As a Celtics fan, I'm glad to say WE ARE BACK!!!!!

The thing that troubles me is whether the Celts threw in 2 1st round picks or 1! I agree they got rid of alot of salary and players that didn't fit, but 2 picks?

I think that Boston needed to make the trade.
However..... Maybe I'm wrong but I dont think they are much more than a 48-50 win team.(which I realize is a lot better than what they had) Though Garnett is still very good on both ends, Allen and Pierce couldn't guard Seattle even if they had an inclination about playing D. The point guard situation is murky and they have zero depth. Doc Rivers is still the coach. This is a better trade in fantasyland than reality. Of course the refs may have something to say about all this.

amazing to hear that the odds of the celtics winning it all next year went from 100-1 to 5-1 after the trade was announced.

KG has the most diverse game but he IS NOT an inside scorer. They have no depth, no strength, no point guard. The good news is they will be a better team. The bad news is good luck 2 or 3 years down the road, they will return to the bottom. They will not win the Eastern conference and it is laughable to think they can win the whole thing. Its good for the NBA, good for Boston, but there is just no way they go anywhere as a team. So damn obvious.

I think they absolutely should be the favorites to win the East. People forget very easily that Cleveland won it last year with LeBron James and nothing else. If a one man team can win it, surely a three man team can. Their window is not going to last long and I do think that any one of four or five teams from the West would be favored over them in the Finals but I agree with them being favored in the East. It just doesn't take much to be the best in the East.

King, you were the guy who picked San Antonio to lose every series in the NBA playoffs? Think you had Denver over San Antonio Phoenix over San Antonio Utah over San Antonio...? but you did start a good thread with the Boston sports theme.
