My other question is if the celtics do find a way to get there 2nd title from 2008 seaon through 2012, would they be considered one of the best Celtics teams?
That game 7 they didnt have kendrick Perkins. So Technically this starting 5 team has not lost a series.

with shaq they are better this year than they were last year
if they used shaq and qarnett toqether then they have a chance to beat lakers this year
but if lakers use this lineup
bynum
qasol
odom
artest
kobe
then they can beat celtics this year even if shaq and qarnett were both used at the same time
but i doubt phil jackson would use this line up.....so my bet would still be on celtics beatinq lakers this year 2011
and so, it just depend on if phil jackson will use that line up or not, if he uses it, lakers will win, if he doesn't uses it, celtics more likely with shaq and qarnett win.
and if celtics do find a way to find a second title from 2011-2012, then they will definitly be considered one of the best celtics team ever, infact, in fact, i think their team now is even better than when they had bird in the 80s and when they had russell in the 60s, because the celtics team now has even more stars power and talents than they were in 80s and 60s, yes even better than bird's celtics time and russell's celtics time.
oh and about that qame seven, even if perkins was healthy they still won't beat lakers, because rasheed was better than perkins, and score well more than him and also play pretty nice defense to contain qasol, without rasheed on court for so much time, the lakers could beat perkins' celtics even more bad like a 88-82 kind of score, rasheed keep it close. with qarnett
?
If the Lakers are healthy no team can beat them in a 7 game series,including the Celtics.

The Celtics will win it this year!!! the lakers could have had their chance at a 3 peat if they would have won in 2008

No if they couldn't beat the lakers last year they are not beating em any time in the near future....I really doubt they will make it 2 the finals this year...it will between the magic and the bulls this year....they are not even close 2 a dynasty so they will be like the heat they won it one year and everybody 4got about them

No way! They could not beat them last year and they surely will not beat them this year or next, especially with a healthy Bynum and the additions of Blake, Barnes and Shannon's new shooting stroke!!
As as far as them being Boston's best....they are indeed one of the best but I would have to say that the Larry Legend teams were better. Maybe it would not be that way if Allen, KG & Pierce had gotten the chance to play together in their prime.
