Nice argument let me try.

The realization is in the fact that the C's got 3 All-stars who can play 38 minutes+ a game. You don't need an other-wordly bench when you got the big 3... You gotta have a bench of guys who know their roles.. and the Celtics have those guys!
Damon Stoudamire is close to reaching a buyout agreement with the Memphis Grizzlies that would allow the 34-year-old point guard to sign as a free agent with either the Boston Celtics or the Phoenix Suns, a source told ESPN.com on Saturday. ESPN
I'm not sure about that.. I think through the 2nd half of the season you will see an insurgance of Leon Powe w/ Glen Davis & Perk pretty much holding the big man spot down. We shall see.
Well..I am pretty sure about it.
The Celtics get dominated ont he boards very often in the 4th quarter, especially against teams with lengthy front lines.
it is a given that Ray, KG, and Pierce will be in down the stretch...but Doc Rivers has a tendency to go small and extend KG to the foul line. All that does is give up the block to the opposing teams center. I understand that Posey is a closer...we loved him down here, but with pierce and Posey, you have two guys that sit the wing and crash the board on angles. Thus why the rebounding defecit.
In this league..you win in the 4th quarter with rebounding and defense.
The Celts need to be out there on the prowl for a rebounder/defender.
Right right right right.. like when they went out west the last week of December right after the Christmas holiday and wheeled off 4 straight wins in FIVE DAYS AT Sacramento AT Seattle, AT Utah and then AT L.A.... Or when they won AT Detroit by 8 points or schooled Orlando by 12 and Chicago by 25, reeeeaaal buzzer beaters.
Wow. What a joke and homer response.
Detroit also beat Boston earlier in the year, and Orlando "schooled" them as well.
Why not make reference to going down 0-2 to Washington?
I don't think defeating Orlando is an accomplishment though. Even in the playoffs.
I am AMAZED at "AT Sac" & "AT Seattle" as if Seattle isn't one of the three worse teams in basketball, and Sacramento isn't way under .500 as well. Those two teams are a combined 26-53. Utah has struggled a ton as well -- even Miami dominated them for 48 minutes. THE ONLY IMPRESSIVE wins were against Detroit & LAL, and I actually watched those games. I watch most Heat games, most Lakers games, a ton of Warriors games. Next up on the list, I'd say that whenever Boston plays a good team, I tune in. I've been somewhat impressed so far, but it's WAY TOO EARLY to brag about "proving haters wrong"
LIKE I SAID,
Until Boston survives a TOUGH road swing out West, then the jury is still out. Even then, it's STILL REGULAR SEASON BASKETBALL. Even if Boston's conference record was undefeated, I wouldn't be impressed. The Eastern Conference has TWO GOOD BASKETBALL TEAMS.

Was going to respond but you took the words out of my mouth. I guess the only way to prove the haters wrong is to play every game on the west coast with no breaks, win by 50 every night and win the championship uncontested. I mean its not like they have the best record in the league, a top 5 MVP candidate and win most games by double digit points.:wink:Orlando won by 2, lost by 12. Who schooled who?
Detroit won by 2, lost by 8? I believe, who schooled who?
Doesn't matter the teams you play, 4 games in 5 nights on the other coast... Thats excellent.
The two worst games Celtics played all year, and lost by 5 and 7? Yeah, damn they got *** raped... :err:

Terrible response, IMO.
Who gives a damn how much they win or lose by? If a team beats you by 2, and you beat them by 200 -- what's the score sheet say? 1-1. Winning is winning and losing is losing. Nobody cares how much you win or lose by. That's quite irrelevant in professional sports.
When you have 3 All-Stars, you should never be blown out. Of course.
But you shouldn't lose 2 straight to the Arenas-less Wizards either.
Who is a hater?
Ray Allen = One of King's 5-10 favorite hoopers ever.
KG = One of King's 15-20 favorite hoopers ever.
Paul Pierce = Not up there, but has always commanded my respect.
James Posey = One of my favorite Heat players ever.
Rajon Rondon = My pick for steal of the draft a few years ago, BEFORE KG/Allen.
Doc Rivers = One of my favorite basketball personalities ever.
There is no reason to hate at all.
If Boston wins the title, actually, I'll be HAPPY for the players/coach listed above.
I just don't like the fact that people are overrating a team that hasn't proved much of all thus far. The regular season in the NBA is pretty irrelevant. Having a great record in the Weakstern Conference is irrelevant as well. I mean, Boston's first true test is going to come in the Eastern Conference Finals for Christ's sake, barring injury. Whoever emerges out West will probably have 3 tough series to overcome. With that said, they should also be the most well rested team in the playoffs.......
