The loss of Posey wont make things any easier, but Tony Allen could do what Posey did defensively, I have no doubt it. Posey could make big shots and he shot .500 during the Finals from behind the arc, Tony Allen can't do that but he can fiercely drive to the basket and play the 2 or the 3 with ease. One thing repeat teams all have in common is an athletic bench. We have that. Now I don't think we will have the record we did last year, I do think we will win the Atlantic division without question and I think we could take the Eastern Conference as well. However, Pauly P. and Garnett have to stay healthy and a lot hinges on Ray Allen (he plays horrible pedestrian defense) because when he gets hot we can win anywhere. Perkins too for that matter, he should improve given he is still young.
