With an aging roster, Garnett on bad knees, not to mention he plays dirty basketball and people tend to calm as they age, Rondo has a chemical imbalance, Pierce thinks he's better than he is, and Rasheed Wallace doesn't want it anymore, so how many more years can they legitimately contend for a title?

As long as there is enough air to fill a basketball, the Celtics will contend!

as long as Danny Ainge is running things.......he is the real reason....He'll trade our huge expirings in a couple of years to make sure we keep up.

I just don't see it happening. Don't get me wrong, I can't stand to see the Lakers win titles EVER, but I don't see the Celtics being the team to challenge them.

Garnett plays such bad dirty basketball, making baskets and playing defense...just an embarrassment to the sport overall.

The Celtics will be contending as long as we keep getting jealous trolls coming over trying to talk smack.

If Garnett( PS Garnett played hurt all year, just wore out in Dec. 2008) and Powe were not hurt, they would have given LA all they could have handled in the finals and we've upgraded with Wallace and Daniels ( as compared to who we had on our bench the last two years )
If not the celtics, come clean and admit who your really root for?

I'd like to see a documentary made on the current fad of internet trolling. How they go about their daily lives, what makes them tick, go talk to the guy who diddled them as a child etc etc.

It'd have to be pretty low budget...tough to fit a bunch of camera equipment into small family basements.
LOL at the idea though.

Good point, they'd have to get crazylegshayes' mother to sign a release so they could film in her basement. She'd prob do it for a couple of bucks though, as usual.

Came in thinking this was gonna be a discussion with some Celts fans. Left knowing that some d-bag Celtic hater was trying to stir up some trouble.

The Celtics will contend until the Earth completes it's slow descent into a dying sun; until the stars fall from the heavens; until humankind dispenses with this shabby corporeal form and evolves into beings of pure light; and until all flummoxed followers of other franchises give up their misbegotten faith and become one with the beautiful cosmic green.
Amen dear troll, amen.

I envision the year after next to be the beginning of the 90s for the Celtics, where there was still air in basketballs and the earth was still spinning, and yet the Celtics were farther from title contention than most teams have ever been. Danny Ainge will destroy the Celtics future, you can quote it and document it.
"Maybe it’s also a feeling of inferiority on Garnett’s part. After all, I’d go ahead and guess that Michael Jordan would be playing with a bone spur. Not exactly Willis Reed, are you KG? Speaking of Michael, he not only saved his talk for when he was actually playing, he took on Mourning, Ewing and Charles Oakley. He decked centers in practice. It was all comers. You? You try and mock Jose Calderon. And then Luke Ridnour. And Jerryd Bayless. And Marco Belinelli. All smaller guards. Wow. Such a big man you are."

haha. if winning a title after 4 years from taking over a going-nowhere bad-contract-ridden team constitutes "destroying the Celtics future", then i'll take that anyday.
Ainge is among the best GMs in the NBA. as someone said, as long as he's running the show, we'll be in the hunt.
