There’s just not much more to say, unless proven otherwise.

And I’ve heard enough of Rondo talking. If he really wants to prove something – how about leading the Celtics to a playoff win over Miami? How about not pissing off his respected, sure-fire HOF teammate with his petty, arrogant punk attitude, so much so that he leaves town for a hated rival?

And Allen is a bench player, while KG and Pierce are starters.

Ainge did about the best job he could possibly do in the offseason with all of his constraints.

I’m not like some of these other internet trolls that come on here with sour grape intentions looking to troll about other teams and players. I give credit where it’s due and the Celtics are contenders on paper. Yes, on paper! There’s a difference between looking good on paper and playing like a contender throughout an 82 game season.

There’s a lot of teams in the EAST that has flaws just like any other team. The Heat are the favorite to win the east and go beyond, but there’s still questions surrounding them and Heat fans need start being realistic and get off the honey moon. You’re team as a franchise has 2 titles, nice, but nothing compared to BOS, LAL, SA. Wade is starting to show signs of slowing down, because of age and injuries. The Heat bench is getting older and not one person on their bench can create. Can Lebron be consistent?

Miami Heat barely defeated the Celtics in the 2012 ECF. The 2012 Celtics were a year older, depleted with injuries and had a horrible bench except for Ray Allen. With or without Bosh, the so-called “old” Celtics pushed Miami 7 games. Nothing to be bragging or proud of Heat fans. Bulls couldn’t win the first round without Rose, against Philly? A Bulls team that played 39 games without Rose, still held the best record in the league, but couldn’t beat Philly without Rose? Give it a rest Bulls fans.

The Celtics added depth to their bench, but can this new bench be consistent as the 08′ bench and that question remains to be. The year older Garnett and Pierce are the cornerstone despite Rondo being the new leader, Can they hold up for 82 games? But time after time they’ve proven everyone wrong so…

Indian Pacers are good, but regressed as far as talent from last season. The Pacers lost Donte Jones, Darren Collins, L.Barbosa, Lou Amunderson, Kyrylo Fesenko AJ Price. Replaced with Gerald Green, DJ Augustine and Ian Mahinmi. How are they better?

The Knicks are old. OLD! They’re the oldest team in the league with probably a 1yr window to win a championship and that isn’t likely. If Melo and Stat couldn’t pull it together two seasons ago what will make this year any different?

You got all year to talk, just don’t be suprised when Miami isn’t playing for the crown

This team isn’t as talented as the 08′ team and its not close. This team is depending on Pierce, Garnett, and Terry ( all 35 or over) to play at high levels on a nightly basis.They are also counting on Lee, Green, and Bradley to raise their games. Many C’s fans will tell you that Avery Bradley is an all-star to happen, despite the fact he’s only started 28 games in his career.

The facts are that Boston is a middle of the road team in the East. They clearly arent in the same league as the Heat. Indiana, Brooklyn, and New York are going to be better than Boston; Philly and Chicago may also be as good as the C’s or better. On paper the C’s look to be formidable, but do you really trust past their prime stars, a group of largely unproven role players and a petulant yet talented point guard to take them far? They should be happy with a 4 or 5 seed all this talk of them being legitimate contenders is nonsense.
