Does Boston still have a mid-level exception or any other way to fill their bench?

I think having this Celtics team even w/o a bench would make any NBA finals much more interesting than the snooze-fest this year. Imagine something like Celts-Spurs w/ KG v TD.

hell KG prob has a better shot at winning a title in 08 on Boston, than he would have had on Phoenix had that MN/ATL/PHO deal went through given how much tougher it is to get out of the Western Conference

This is a very intriguing point that might very well be true. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter...

i think you people underestimate the knicks, they are the true favorites to win the east look at that talent. If the knicks stay healthy they are at least going to the east finalz book it.

also...this trade isnt even official yet anyways

You know, I was just in the kitchen preparing for tomorrow and thought about this. I had read that an official word should be expected today. It got me concerned and made me feel icky.

I heard as late as tomorrow night until it's official because of KG's contract extention problems.

if the celts can add dee brown or someone similar, i can see them placing top 4 in the east if they can avoid injuries, but their roster right now? terrible. perkins is barely worth having on your bench, he's a disaster as a starting center. rondo might be great eventually, but he was only okay last year and he's gonna be under a ton of pressure. i dunno, five years ago garnett, allen and pierce could have won the east by themselves, but today? they need help, and they don't have it.

Its statements like this that make me realize that people have no idea how bad the East is.

Lebron and the Cavs got to the finals with....

Lebron





Big Z
A guy named Boobie
Larry "I am super overrated offensively" Hughes (basically Tony Allen who can score more)


Tell me why the C's couldnt just cruise to the finals? MIA (ok a legit contender but old as [censored])? Det?

Agreed completely.

Also I'd just like to add in my ultra homer-influenced reminder that everyone is forgetting about the Wizards, but I think that when healthy Butler/Arenas/Jamison make them a contender.

my inside infoz tells me the deal is off cause telfair doesnt want to play for the wolves and they dont want to upset sebastian, im usually the first one they tell
