Besides ruining all three of their stars' fantasy value, Boston's acquisition of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen is sure to break a lot of hearts in Boston. As soon as the trigger was pulled on the KG deal, Donnie Wahlberg was on First Take declaring a certain championship. When this team loses in the first or second round of the playoffs with no future hope in sight, we'll all be declaring the entire Boston fan base deceased. When are people going to learn that throwing a bunch of desperate to win, aging superstars on the same team never works? It didn't for Malone, Payton, and the Lakers, and it didn't for Barkley and the Rockets. Sure, in the Eastern conference it may work in the regular season, but come the post season, these guys will get torn to shreds at the point guard position, which coincidentally is once again the most important position in the NBA. Who are they going to start? Rajon Rondo? Chauncey Billups and Jason Kidd will give these guys fits, and with Chicago and Cleveland continuing to improve, the Celtics will have trouble getting that Conference Championship they've already been anointed. Pierce, Allen, and KG's personalities may mix well, but with a supporting cast of Brian Scalabrine and Kendrick Perkins, they won't be getting sized for rings any time soon.

BWAHAHAHAHA!
No Oden for you! Well Boston, at least you still have Baseball and Football. You never should have messed with David Stern. He will go straight up Dr. Claw on that ass... Although there is one good thing about the Celtics he can never take away (link), or can he?
