2008 Celtics

This team is going far this year, and I hope they go all the way to raising number 17 to the rafters.
Garnett is MVP for sure but naturally Paul will get it
And Rondo is one helluva a player, this guy has impressed me all year long. He is going to be a star
Anyone watch last night? that steal and fast break down and pass to Garnett at the hoop was awesome
Danny Ainge will get his praise I am sure for putting this team together.
And Doc will get his due also.
I was sold on them back in Sept. but it was football season, so I didn't see all the games but since that was over I have watched almost all the games.

All I can say is WOW

I wish I could go to a game

Thumbs up

If KG hadn't come here, Pierce would have gone there. They were dying to team up. They did it here and KG is glad. He was stunned for the first couple of games by the Boston fans' enthusiasm. The Celts have gone very far this year, personally I think that there will be a 17th in the rafters

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

KG's intensity is second to none
I think I can speak for all of us that we are all thrilled he came here.
Glad Ray Allen could join Pierce and the rest too.

Amazing season they are having for sure

next win puts them by themselves as the most improved in one year as far as wins go, they are tied with Portland right now I believe

where's the Go Celts emoticon

Superstarts not being greedy, Oh Yeah, it's been a great season. I must of watched at least 50 games this year. KG has been great to watch and has turned this team around, metnally and physically. But for MVP, Chris Paul gets my vote, he is an all around great point guard, his team is #1 in the west and I can't name another player on the Hornets.


Go Celtics!!!

Go celtics is right. They are steam rolling the competition. Plus they move the ball around, the congruency is what takes them from good to better.

BANNER 17

You know it, Slip!!

These guys have been a BLAST to watch!!!
KG is my MVP! The single largest turnaround in the History of the NBA
can be directly placed on the shoulders of one man, The Big Ticket, and trumps taking yer team to first place in your division! So hasn't Mr Garnett, eh? imho, since they both have done that, the 1st place thang is a wash. Does catapulting your team to the #1 Defense in the league count for something also?

KG and his level of play and intensity has single-handedly transformed the culture of Our '07-'08 Boston Celtics. Besides Chris Paul has gots some more dues to pay, and he'll have many more years to earn prolly several MVP's before he's through with the NBA

As a result of that accolade

it's not looking too good for

MVP. he still gets my vote, these

Celtics would not be where they are without him.

KG is MVP but they will give Kobe a lifetime achievement award,like John Wayne finally getting an Oscar for TRUE GRIT.
