Reggie Miller to the Celtics?

Yeah, a team desperate enough to contemplate signing a guy 7 years past his prime is really going to dominate the East.

Charles Barkley should come of retirement and play for the Celtics, he would be better and funnier than Old Man Miller.

they will have at least 3 shoot first, think later types who play absolutely no D. sounds like a championship style squad

Kevin Garnett is an 8 time All Defensive player in his 12 seasons. I think he plays a little defense. Ask Duncan.

And which team in the east should they be worried about?

Cleveland won the east as a one-man show, but they're still just that. Detroit got beat by a one-man show. Good as Gilbert Arenas is, the Wizards are about as legit as his shark attack routine. The Miami chapter of the AARP won't do anything.

That's just the thing. You say Boston has no depth, but neither does anybody else in the east. They can win it.

Garnett is an A list defender. Allen and Pierce can't guard the ground where they stand.

To quote noted American philosopher Vincent Kennedy McMahon, "No chance in Hell." The Celts are no better than Washington. You win with defense in the playoffs. The Celts have exactly two guys, Rondo and Garnett, who are above average defenders. The rest of their guys fall between awful and disgraceful.

Every team you mention in that post, as well as Orlando and Chicago, will finish ahead of Boston in the East. New Jersey probably will, as well.

I'm talking about the three gunners: Allen, Pierce and now Miller. Perimeter D will be entertaining and ball pressure will not exist outside of Rondo. Garnett is a solid defender, but Bill Russell couldn't help this squad.

Ahh, I got you. I don't know Russell and KG would make a strong front court. :)

You know, when was the last time anyone was talking about the Celtics? Since the move to get KG they have been talked more than I can remember in a long time. From that alone this has been a good trade... so far.

From my posts you would think I'm a Celtics but I'm not... I think it's good for the league though if they are a major player.

Everyone keeps putting the Celts down but have you guys forgotten how pathetic the Eastern Conference is?? Who cares i they don't play defense, 90% of the guys in the NBA don't. They have 3 big time scorers that WANT to play with each other. Those three guys should get atleast 70pts a nite and on most nites that's enough to win in the Atlantic and the Eastern Conference. Adding Miller gives them a legit 3PT threat and a almost dead eye shooter from the free throw line.
