Its Amazing How Overrated the 08 Celtics Get
I also see them in all-time list but they were far from world beaters in the playoffs.
Hawks- Got taken to 7 games by a sub .500 Atlanta team.
Cavs- Got taken to 7 games by a Cleveland team thats 2nd best player was Delonte West. Took a PJ Brown jumphot to survive.
Pistons- Beat a past prime Pistons team.
Lakers- Played an LA team without Bynum or healthy Ariza. Still took 6 games and rigged officiating in Boston to win.
Does anyone really think this team has a shot in hell of beating the 01 Lakers, 96 Bulls, etc.?

Seriously, they were KG's knee injury and a bad 4th quarter away from being a dynasty.

Played down to their competition really. Only team in recent memory that could literally flick an on/off switch. They were THAT good (primarily on the defensive end).

Not buying the Celtics beating LA in 09 with KG. They really just weren't as amazing as people make them out to be. They also had a knack for blowing 3-2 series leads. Rivers is a good coach that gets the most out of his team. But the guy would be sitting between Bill Simmons and Magic Johnson on ESPN right now if it weren't for KG.

It wasn't just 09, even in 2010 he wasn't fully recovered from his knee issues.

Meh, more excuses. Its no guarantee at all that 09 Celtics win the title with KG. The Perkins excuse is also weak. Perkins blows and isn't even all that good of a rebounder. The Celtics flat-out got outplayed in that 4th quater.

RG is on point with this one
ppl always pretend that the celts were some dynasty team or something
they were just good defensive team that had a serendipitous run.
Defensive teams rarely repeat becuase their success is all based on effort and it's easy for effort to die down once they get their ring.
Celts are an easy out for any team in the playoffs, they living on reputation

Neither was Bynum in 09 or 2010. And Kobe had a broken finger.

08 Boston wins one flukey title when Ariza and Bynum were injured and now are on all time great lists, wtf
Don't forget the Powe-Whistle game, Leon Powe is suddenly given 16 freethrows on the same day he has a heartwarming halftime piece about him being homeless.
Don't forget the bit tch Paul Pierce getting dragged away on a wheelchair then coming back 5 minutes later miraculously cured
Paul Pierce in a wheelchair was like a movie. Drama Queen really pulled a great stunt in there. I can't believe someone from Inglewood can flail like a bitch and cry like a baby and came back as on OG. Stranger than fiction indeed.
