This is just one man's opinion, but if you're waiting for the Celtics to make a significant move that will get them an impact player, you'll be waiting awhile. We went all in with THIS roster, and we have a [dang] good chance at winning it all if everything goes right (and every contender needs everything to go right to win it all).
See this is where I totally disagree with you. For Boston to win multiple teams need to have injuries to star players because the C's best will not be good enough against a number of other team's best. Boston will not beat Miami unless it has an injury to at least one of the big 3 and frankly if Lebron is one of the healthy ones they still might beat us. Same goes for the Lakers and Thunder. Hell even Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia, Indiana, and Chicago aren't going to be easy series for Boston to win.
This team just isn't good enough to win a title as it is currently constructed without significant injuries to other teams. Sad but true reality.
There's a good chance we'll be significantly improved at sg and every backup spot compared to last year. We can easily win a title against healthy teams provided we're healthy. People have been throwing dirt on the team since 2009 and it's still not taking.
We were
this close to beating Miami last year.
Miami added Chris Bosh, Ray Allen, and Rashard Lewis to their ECF roster.
The Celtics added Jeff Green, Jason Terry, Courtney Lee, Leandro Barbosa, Jared Sullinger, Chris Wilcox, and Avery Bradley. Of course, we lost a key contributor in Ray but I don't think he was the reason we almost won that series. And finally, the Captain and 08 Finals MVP was hobbled and played well below his normal level.
Factor in all of that and I just can't see how the 2012 Celtics are not an elite team.
What about this do people not see?
