Celtics big 3, heat big 3.?

I want to know everyone's opinions as to why when the Celtics brought KG and ray allen over to play with peirce they weren't criticized half as much as when lebron and bosh came to the heat with wade. Yes lebron's departure wasn't the best but it doesn't justify all the hate for the heat and they're big three.

    it was the real first big 3 we had seen and it was exciting.

    The biggest reason that Boston's Big 3 didn't get nearly a quarter of the grief that Miami's Big 3 did is because of the fanfare and hype of LeBron's Decision and the Free Agent class. The Decision plus the preseason championship celebration really irked non-Miami Heat fans. Also, bear in mind that, when it comes to Boston's additions, Allen and Garnett were pretty much given the boot by their respective former teams (Seattle Supersonics and Minnesota Timberwolves, respectively.) Finally, for LeBron to leave Cleveland stranded like that is a wise business move, but it's also a move of cowardice. They would have built a team around him with the pieces he wanted. For him to run to Miami looked gutless and cheesy. As far as Wade and Bosh go, Wade's ok because he stuck with the team he was with. Remember, Wade was the first to sign with Miami of the 3. Bosh had no choice but to leave. The Toronto Raptors would not have been able to put a quality team around him.

    It's because the Celtics traded for Allen and Garnett, so those 2 didn't choose to go there. But still I don't think people should hate the Heat because LeBron and Bosh chose to go there, why not go to a team where you have the best shot at winning. Don't they play the game to win championships.

    i think the celtics are jealous of the heat's big 3...

    but its the celtics fault because they are the reason miami's big 3 was formed

    lebron,wade,and bosh knew they would never win a title alone specially with boston so they formed to take on the celtics

    none of the celtics big 3 are in their prime.

    orneither KG or Ray Ray left their team

    when their team had the best record in the NBA

    for 2 years straight. finally, KG or Ray Ray never

    promised to bring a championship to their team

    and just quit.

    but that is IMO

    I want to know why so many Celtics fans bash on Heat fans by saying something like " You weren't a heat fan last year" when they weren't Celtics fans until '07 when Allen and KG arrived.

    1) they were older

    2) no one on the celtics was expected to win a championship by themselves

    3) there was no hour special

    4) they weren't acquired through free agency
