highly disagree

they were a Kendrick Perkins injury away from being 2010 champs.

That is not true. Plus, now the big three (? on Allen) are one year older.

Tougheth lucketh.

[Stringer_Bell]

Tougheth lucketh.

So you agree about Perkins? That's very considerate. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.

Very cool of Pierce to save the Celtics some lux tax and dollars on his contract, he will retire a Celtic and the fans got his back.

[Giuseppe]

Yep.

I just tote up the NBA World Championship Titles. I don't qualify 'em.

It's my religion.

What exactly isn't true about that statement? They lost a game 7 in LA by only 4 points.

It's not necessarily false, but it's not necessarily true either. You can't just plug in Kendrick Perkins and say he would have easily been a 4 point difference because the game would have played out differently. Just like a Laker fan can't say, "hey the Lakers beat the Celtics twice in the series with Perkins so they would have beaten them anyway." Everything that happens in game 7 would have changed with Perkins playing. I don't think Rasheed gets the same rhythm he found at times and score as well. Or maybe KG doesn't get all those same looks and hit at the same great percentage. Thing is, we don't know what would have happened. Could the Celtics have won game 7 with Perk? Sure, absolutely. It's not guaranteed. Just like having a healthy Bynum and Ariza wouldn't have guaranteed the Lakers beat the Celtics in 2008.

Good for the Celtics.

If they would have not chocked in that 4th quarter they would have won.

I was responding to "Their championship days are over unless they get Lebron..." My point is they almost won. They played like ass during the regular season then bulldozed over the Cavs and Magic and took the favored Lakers to a game 7 and only lost by 4. Yes they are getting older but to count them out completely is foolish.

Not saying Refs didnt win that game for the Lakers, but Celtics could still have won.

[Lakers999]

[Lakers999]

Well my feelings on this will be determined once the contract details are out. It better not be more than 2 years(3 if it's team option). This goes for Ray Allen as well if he were to resign. Celts window is already slammed shut, but with KG under contract for 2 more years, it does make sense to have false hope in this situation. Celts front office will get the memo that this team was officially done on June 17,2010 and will blow it all up next summer.

Or loyalty. But hey, who the fuck are we to question that logic?
