They were 33-10 before he came back from injury. Yes his loss has been a factor but I think it's overrated some what. You can't go 33-10 by being average. It's the same celtics team that went 33-10 pretty much I feel as though quite a few are writing them off again.

I like the C's to meet the lake show again. I believe they will beat the bulls in the ECF.

So I take it you're be betting them to win Eastern Conference Finals?

I agree with this. Perkins was a non-factor for much of the season, and while it sucks not having him on the team, having a great backup for Pierce and Allen as well as a C who plays offense is worth losing Perk's presence on D. Pierce/Allen will get plenty of rest so they will be fresh for the 4th quarter. Shaq/JO/Krstic is a solid group at C, and all are expected to be ready for the playoffs.

Cs playoff lineup
Rondo, Arroyo
Allen, Delonte
Pierce, Green
KG, Baby
Shaq, JO, Krstic

That's a damn deep lineup. Three of their backups were starters on top 4 seeds earlier this year... assuming at least 2 of their 3 centers can stay healthy, they'll be contenders for the title
