I don't think KG would have gone to LA. He wanted to be on a contender.

KG+Kobe=4th seed. Which equals contender. Not favorite by any means but contender for sure.

I'm not quite sure people understand just how good Kevin Garnett is due to his former allegiance to one of the shittiest basketball organizations over the past 10 years. They'll understand this year though...some douchebag announcer is going to say in May "Kevin Garnett has established that he is the best player in the NBA, better than Kobe, better than Lebron, simply the best."
What's really nice is that Allen and Pierce aren't slouches on defense either. They are both competent and unselfish. I see the Celtics winning ~62 games this year. It's going to be hillarious when the Celtics run into the Cavs or Pistons in the Conference finals.
