| Pierce declares Celtics team to beat
The Boston Celtics open training camp next week with a new roster and the same confident attitude. Forget that the Los Angeles Lakers are the NBA’s reigning champions. Paul Pierce is already predicting another title for the Celtics – provided, of course, they stay healthy.
Poor health doomed the Celtics’ own hopes last season. All-Star forward Kevin Garnett missed 25 games, including the playoffs, because of a right knee injury that eventually required surgery. Role players also were in and out of the lineup as Boston went on to lose to the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Pierce said he barely watched the Lakers beat the Magic in the NBA Finals. After the series was over, he tweeted, “Looked like a German shepherd vs. a poodle. That’s OK the Rottweiler Celtics will b back in 2010.” Pierce declares Celtics as 'team to beat' - NBA - Yahoo! Sports |
