Was the Celtics Big 3 a success?

[navy]

2 Finals Appearances.
1 Championship.
3 ECF appearances.

Did the Heat, now the Celtics.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Nah
shouldve 3peated and they would have if KG didnt get injured

[Fudge]

Considering they were all past their prime, yeah. It was kind of a success.

They were build to win more than one title but the franchise didn't win one for 22 yrs prior to '08. So I call it a success even though it should of been better.

Three peats are a rarity for a reason.

[NumberSix]

Why do people assume this is not a young mans sport

When Peirce , Garnet and allen were together , they were on the down hill of their careers.

One chip was amazing.

[PJR]

Nope. Weak East. Doesn't count.

[Derka]

We got old fast. Real fast. We should have done better with those 09 and 10 teams. It was a fun ride while it lasted, though.

So Ray Allen SIX YEARS LATER is HoF great support for LBJ and the Heat but for Boston he was too old?

God I hate this place.

They won a championship the year they were formed and got damm close to winning it again. Yes it was a success.

They weren't the same after KG's mysterious injury in '09.

Should have won in '10 though; Doc screwed up that game 7.

I would say so. Here is a year-by-year breakdown of how far they got:

Injuries killed them in 2009 when their playoff PF/C rotation was Glen Davis, Mikki Moore, and Kendrick Perkins.

2010 had the Celtics getting to the last quarter of Game 7 of the Finals.

2011 had Rondo (best player) getting his elbow broken by D-Wade and the eventual champions.

2012 had an epic run to Game 7 of ECF against the eventual champions after losing 3 rotation players to season-ending injuries and Ray Allen needing career-saving bone spur surgery.

The shitty 2013 season had no excuses. Any chance of playoff success was eliminated when Rondo tore his ACL anyway.

Only one ISH would a championship and two finals appearances be a questionable success. When was the last time the Celtics were relevant before the Big 3 teamed up?
