How will Boston Celtics do this year?

Question

What if they add Reggie Miller to the mix? What if they added the unhappy Kobe Bryant to the mix?

Answer 1

theyll do good but they will have no bench

Answer 2

All of those options are funny. Reggie Miller is 42 years old and probably can give them no more than 15 minutes a game. Kobe will be a Laker this year. They'll contend in the East but their bench isn't deep enough to contend with the top tier teams in the West.

Answer 3

There are still lots of factors to consider and the Celtics are still lacking a few thing such as:

> Chemsitry - As you can see, KG, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce has throughout their career played with them being the main man on their team and I think they would need some adjustments and get comfortable playing alongside all-stars of their caliber. Plus the ball would be likely rotating only to the three, which means it would be hard for the supporting casts to get comfortable in the court if they are not getting the ball that much.

> Depth - aside from the Big Three, who else are worth talking about? Even if Reggie Miller joins them, he won't be that much and can only be handful during crucial situations.

But still, you can never underestimate a team with these kind of players. I think they can make it as far as the second round but anything beyond that is a doubt.

They are not getting Kobe, not in a million years.

Answer 4

stop they will not add kobe bryant to the mix. i could see reggie miller. the celtics big three will have to learn how to play together. the east will be the conference to watch this year because of the move that celtics have made.

Answer 5

I dont think they will get Kobe first of all and reggie miller might come out of retirement. Boston will do pretty good but they will need this year to mesh and get their chemistry right. They might get into the playoffs this year or they might not. Next year they will be a force in the east.

Answer 6

They have a real shot at the title this year. It all depends on how the superstars get along together and if they stay healthy.

I don't know if they have enough salary cap to support Kobe,and why would they need Reggie. Reggie is only good for being an assistant coach at this point.

Answer 7

Reggie Miller isn't coming back.. He doesn't want to risk an injury because he is pretty old.. It would be nice though. Celts dont need Kobe they got Ray.. I believe they will win the eastern title against the heat maybe. I want them to win a championship too. They will have a great year.

Answer 8

They will go to the 2nd round at least. But they have a good chance of getting to the East Finals or even the NBA Finals. Because they have a pretty strong chance beating either Chicago, Cleavand or Detroit. They will need at least two years to be a cohesive team and develop good role players. If they ever win a championship it will probably in the 08-09 or 09-10 season.

Answer 9

The Celtics won't do much better than last year, but give them 1 solid post man and that could change. Kobe would help any team, but you gotta have a big man.

Answer 10

If they add Kobe they will be the best team know to man.But right now I see them going to the Conference finals,and lose to the Heat,Cavs or the Magics

Answer 11

i think that the celtics will be good, but since they aren't very deep at all seeing as though their bunch sucks, they won't have a chance at the title.

i dbout we'll get kobe.

and reggie, could bring some seriously needed leadership.
