Is anyone really scared of the Celtics?

Sure as hell doesn’t look like Tim Duncan is..

Is anyone scared of Boston? Short answer no. Look at every team in Sport’s worst division.. the Hellhole or as you might call it the Atlantic Division. Toronto, New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York. Why would any of those teams worry about a few ageing stars and an “upcoming” forward.

Heres what the other teams had to say when interviewed:

Toronto: Boston who’s?

New Jersey: Go back to the lotttery

Philadelphia: Our mediocrity is to much for you

New York: We have Donaghy on our side

On a more serious note According to ESPN’s Hollinger ratings the Boston Celtics have 3 of the best players in the league with: Ray Allen, Paul Pierce and Al Jefferson. The only other two teams in the same situation are the Spurs and the Suns and a little hunch tells me those teams aren’t doing to badly.

 

On the Yi situation.

Most people have reacted indignantly to Yi Jianlian’s camp trying to dictate who and who couldn’t draft Yi by not allowing workouts to some teams including the Milwaukee Bucks allegedly due to a sparse Chinese population in Wisconsin . Then the Bucks took him anyway with the 6th pick. Yi’s camp responded by demanding a trade, dropping a few team names as preferred destinations for him and stating that if not traded he will not report and re-enter the draft next year. The Bucks countered that they have no intentions of trading Yi and are confident he will sign. How will this be resolved? How should it be resolved? (more)
