Another thing i am not completely happy with is the center position with the C's.Ive never felt Perkins was a starter-type center,but he was sufficient this past season,because KG is a beast and plays hard enough to take up the slack on both ends down low.But will he be able to carry the load this season,like he basically did this past season?Perkins seems to only be good for 2 1/2-3 quarters.Perk needs to stop whinning so much,and play ball more.He allows the refs,and players to get inside his head to much.Im not a hater when it comes to Perkins,but i call them as i see 'em.So,they definitely need to find a good backup vet.center,(imo)before the playoffs. Im still a little pissed at losing Pose,but its a done-deal,and im moving on with it.I still think,they (Celtics)made a big mistake,by not finding a way to pick him up.I know all about the MLE,and the future was the main reason,but their should have been a sacrifice made,somehow to keep him.

If they can muster the same drive for a championship, I think they'll be back. They're not losing much. And they'll have been playing together for longer. They weren't supposed to win the first year together. They hit a few bumps in the playoffs but it all came together in the end. We'll have to see if any of the other teams have improved enough because the Cs aren't getting any worse. I see no reason why the Cs wont repeat — ok 1: complacency.

They would hardly cover him, instead using the player guarding him as a roamer. Once that changes, he will be a middle of the pack (maybe slightly above average) point guard. In all honesty, I see no way the Celtics repeat. Allen is on the downward slide, and other teams in the East (Magic, Sixers) are younger and improving. They may win the East next year, but no way they beat the Lakers (now with Bynum), Hornets, Rockets, Spurs, or Jazz in a seven gamer.
