Celtic Resurgence

We're now several weeks away from the start of the regular season and the talk of the NBA (outside of Kobe Bryant) are the Boston Celtics. The Celtics of the 21st-Century have been a far cry from the Larry Bird-led Celtics of the 1980's who routinely contended for the NBA crown. Until this Summer, the Celtics have been one of several Eastern Conference doormats who have bordered on irrelevance. That was until they landed Superstar Kevin Garnett. Now with a nucleus that includes Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen (but lacks a legit Point Guard), the major question facing the club is: How many games will they win the East by? The Atlantic Division seems to be a lock for this team. Now the rest of the NBA is just curious as to who will keep pace with them. The consensus choice is the Chicago Bulls (who may land KB24, albeit a long-shot.) Only time will tell, but all sources point to the Celtics winning the East and competing with the San Antonio Spurs (who else?) for the NBA title this season.
