Boston Celtics (66-16)

The Celtics last year were simply amazing. You gotta' give props to the Celtics GM, Danny Ainge. In the 2006-2007 season, they were awful. They had a record of 24-58 finishing last in their division. They were crushed soon there after when they didn't get the 1st pick in the NBA Draft. When everything looked absolutely terrible, Danny Ainge made some huge deals. He brought in Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Two monster weapons along with Paul Pierce. They were just better than everyone. (except the lakers) I am a lakers fan by the way. *laugh* After crushing teams in the Regular Season, they got off to a shaky start but then got back on pace to win the NBA Finals.


NBA Preview 2008

What to look for: Boston Celtics to be once again dominant, but not be as dominant as teams will catch up. Boston Celtics year-by-year will get older just like everyone else and watch out for them to slow down at times. Also, watch out for a lesser production game-by-game from the Stars... a.k.a. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen. 

Players to look out for: Rajan Rondo could be a hit in the next few years, or, he could be a complete failure. The bench could also be a surprise with the growth of Leon Powe, and others. 

Prediction: 59-21, Eastern Conference Champs, and lose to the Lakers in the NBA Finals.

Thanks for reading and I'll be back.
