Are the Celtics the heel of the 09-10 NBA season?

Looking through our roster, I can't find one identifiable player that opposing fans actually like. Our frontcourt is ridiculous.
-We all know the hate people have for Sheed, with the smoking, complaining and Ts
-KG has garnered a lot of hate after he joined the Cs for his cocky antics. Most notably getting on all fours, gauranteeing championships, and his overall demeanor.
-Perkins has been labeled around the league as a complainer, and should become Sheed's BFF. Perk is also as a player who "thinks he's a lot better than he is."
-Even Big Baby (if we were to resign him) is hated just for being fat, loud and annoying. And I'm sure Magic fans don't take too kindly of him with his game-winning shot in Game 4 and his push on the 12-year old kid.
-Ray Allen used to be in the category of one of the classiest players in the league, but he's been sort of digging his own grave in that regard lately. That nut shot of Sideshow Bob was classless, but I can't say that mophead didn't deserve it.
-PP just gets general superstar hate. His wheelchair antics in the finals and self-proclamation that he's the best player in the NBA irked some people the wrong way.
-Now let's get started on Rondo. Last years playoffs were a good indication of how much a heel this guy has become... he shoved Kirk Hinrich into the stands, slapped Brad Miller in the head in a crucial play. His terrific play in the playoffs only cemented his legacy here. My feeling is that opposing fans can't fathom that there is another star besides the Big 3, and don't want to see Rondo succeed, because then their team is eff'd.
-There isn't too much to hate about House, other than his scrappy play can be seen as quite annoying. Rafer Alston can vouge for me on this one.
-New aquisition Marquis Daniels has had his fair share of personal problems. The ridiculous tattoo he has doesn't help his cause in the like-ability department.
-Tony Allen has had death threats when we were on the road in the playoffs. No further comment.
-Scal has to be the most likeable player, but he is what he is. Can't say he's hated, although he was severely so on this board in the past.
The rest of the roster isn't rounded out yet so it's hard to judge on that. But as it stands, we will be the enemy going into this season. IT will be like a WWF event and we are the bad guys. The heel. And that's the way Boston Celtic basketball should be, in my opinion
.
I like being the bad guys, and wouldn't have it any other way.
