2008 Celtics and 2009 Lakers are 1A and 1B, in my book.
I even felt like the 08 Lakers fully healthy would’ve posed more of a challenge to the Celtics that year (Bynum and Ariza were basically both fully unavailable).

Re: Best non-Shaq/Kobe team of the 2000s
I think if all these teams faced off in a bracket, the '09 Lakers end up winning. They are a matchup problem for everybody with their gargantuan frontline and Kobe on the perimeter.
The 2009 Celtics would have been a contender for sure. I think they started something like 27-2 and were winning 80% of their games until KG got hurt in February. Boston vs. Los Angeles that year in the Finals should have been the pinnacle of that mini-era rivalry with both teams at their absolute best.

Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river
