The NBA is all about superstars. Role players dont win championships. The Celtics got ahold of 3 superstars and thats why they won it all.
Dont get me wrong, Im not taking anything away from them. I had no idea those guys could / would play defense like that. Im just saying it was a once in a lifetime event of signing the right players at the right time and getting them to gel together. I guess my point was that this isnt a dynasty type team like you get when you draft young players, develope them and then watch them devour the league as they get better together.
Garnett is better than I thought he could be at this point in his career but hes still past his prime and will get worse from here.
Allen is a hired gun who is also past his prime
Pierce is a great great player but we've already seen what happens if he doesnt have talent all around him. That talent is going to fade quickly.
Boston got the right players (bought...traded for..whatever you want to call it) at the right time, but it was a quick fix that I dont see lasting very long.Statistics: Posted by iceman5 — Thu Jun 19, 2008 2:27 pm
