I still think the Celtics are a starting 7 footer away from the Finals.Granting all goes well and they unexpectedly(but possible.This is basketball)beat Miami.HOw are they going to guard Howard(the lakers are pretty balanced in their starting 5 with depth)at the 5 or even the Thunder? You can only do that if you put a working 7 footer with Garnett in there. Sully is inexperienced and Bass can be compromised(at 6’8″) as he more effective in the perimeter in offense and does not get anybody in foul trouble(forced or unforced) inside.
That being said I like the Lee signing best.Terry off the bench is great.GM Ainge might want to use Bradley & Bass as a trade to get that 7 footer.

Terry, Green, and Lee could all be starting on other teams and they will be coming off the bench. Throw in Sullinger and Wilcox, an occasional Joseph and Dooling and there is no team in the NBA with their depth. On paper, they are 2nd in the East.

They still won’t be able to beat the Heat in a 7 game series. I still take the76ers over them. The Celtics are and will always be to arrogant. Even after all the pieces they put together they still can’t handle the Heat. I just want to see if Garnett, Pierce or Rondo will congratulate the Heat after they get beat. They showed no class after they got eliminated. Celtics suck.
