Celtics will be good still. Eastern Finals. Could win it all. Wished we had gotten JT. Brung him back home to LA.

What is with the love affair for Terry? I don't get it. He is not an adequate replacement for Ray Allen. Ray Allen can shoot the lights out* and plays decent D. Terry doesn't do anything much better than mediocre. Celtics aren't that good.

* .600+ TS% for 4 straight seasons....Terry shot in the .540s the last 2 seasons.

ZJC's not messing around.

J Moore - Why do you think the Celtics are that good? They had to play 13 games and luckily avoided a healthy Chicago to get to the ECF. I don't think they improved at any position, 2 of their best players are now even older and face an 82 game season. They still may end up being the 2 seed because the East got weaker at the top, but the Celtics are not title contenders at all.

Cause the rest of the East other than Miami isn't any better.

Wages of Wins predictions, btw. They have Boston at 5th place. I like the additions the Knicks made, but that doesn't mean I trust the way Woodson will allot the minutes.

They are the deepest team in the East.

We're not title contenders? We took the Miami Heat to 7 games in the ECF w/out Jeff Green, Chris Wilcox, Avery Bradley, a hobbled Pierce & Allen. Now Green, Wilcox, & Bradley are healthy & back, Pierces knee is healthy & he is good to go. We added Lee, Terry, & Barbosa. How is that not improving? & the East is not weaker, it may be better than it has been the past couple of seasons. The Sixers, Pacers, Nets, Knicks are no pushovers anymore.

I'm not saying the Celtics will win the title, but I won't be surprised at all if they are right back in the ECFs again & take the Heat to 7 games once again.

Green and Wilcox aren't very good. I do love the Lee addition. Terry isn't better than Ray Allen. Barbosa is washed up. And all Bradley can do is guard the opposing two really well and play some backup point guard. That's about it.

And no, the East isn't very good. None of those teams you listed aren't even close to title contenders.

I stopped reading when you said Green isn't very good.

Yeah I was just curious. I guess I just disagree that Lee, Terry, and Barbosa will improve the team at all. Lee sucks, and the other 2 aren't very productive anymore.

I don't like Green either. He can't rebound to save his life. Last year was the first season where he ever scored efficiently, but he only played 26 games. He's a good ball handler, but he doesn't do anything else well.
