A preview of the ‘09-’10 Boston Celtics
The last 2 seasons for the Boston Celtics have been wild to say the least. The Celtic defeated the favored Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals in 08′ for the Celtics 17th championship.
After one of the most exciting playoffs series, first round or not, against the Chicago Bulls the Celtics didn’t have enough to put away the Orlando Magic. It was a shame the Celtics didn’t have the opportunity to defend their 08′ championship at full strength.
If the Celtics had a healthy Kevin Garnett there is no reason they could not repeat as champions – the Celtics nearly beat the Orlando Magic without Garnett in the second round.
Essentially everyone from last year will be back in action. The big three (Garnett, Pierce, Allen) are all back in tow, and Rajon Rondo, Leon Powe, Glen Davis, and the rest of the supporting cast are there as well. Out is Stephon Marbury, which may in fact be a good thing for the team.
Originally the Boston Celtics had the “Big Three” with Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen – points during the season last year it was the “Big Four” with Rondo included.
In the 08′-09 Wallace only averaged 12 points per game – his lowest scoring averages since his rookie year in 95′-96′.
Glen “Big Baby” Davis has his best season in 09′ making a game winning shot against the Orlando Magic in the second round. Davis will have to continue to improve his game if the Celtics expect to make another serious playoff push.
Wallace won a championship in 04′ with the Detroit Pistons and is no stranger in playing in important games in the spring and summer time.
