Will the Boston Celtics find a way to start winning again?

Boston's a young team. When their young guys get some experience they'll have a lot more success. I mean they have too much young talent to be a sub par team for long. Al Jefferson, Delonte West, Gerald Green, Orien Greene, these guys are gonna carry this team in the future.

the Clippers are a pretty good team, they made it pretty big in the playoffs this season, and maybe they do have a chance..with Elton Brand and Sam Cassell there.. they could really go a long way, especially with Cassell's good leadership..only flaw: he kinda talks too much sometimes and he's too relaxed when bringing the ball: he even got called for an 8-second violation once! but nonetheless, the Clippers are a great team, and I think they would deserve to win this if and when it happens.

He's not playing anywhere at this point.  In this article, he says that he's in retirement, but that he'd consider coming back if the right opportunity in the NBA came along:\n\nhttp://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/articles/2006/11/10/celtics_look_to_run_when_opportunity_knocks/

No, they just dont have the potential. I would love to see them win but I honestly think it would be a miracle.

Shelden Williams, great inside force that can shoot with both hands, while also rebounding and can run. Just needs to work on staying out of foul trouble.  You are right in that the Celtics need a center, especially when they were desperate enough to give Mark Blount $40 million.

No, but don't count them out, they score a lot of points but so do the other teams. They have to get some D from somewhere. Every champ within the last five years have had D, Lakers, Spurs, Detroit, all of them had it. They got to get it.

well, I miss their competitiveness, Paul Pierce alone isn't good enough.\n\n16 NBA Titles more than anybody in the NBA, Russell, Auerbach, Cousy, Bird, Parrish, McHale, those guys are my heroes, now the superstars are Le Bron, Wade, Kobe, Mark Cuban.\n\nRick Pitino was right the Celtics today area Lost cause what a Shame.

I think they will, they do have a solid team, and scince they got Ron Artest they have been playing better and more as a team.  They will need some luck and they will need to play at top preformance, but they have been picking it up and i think bibby will continue to pick his game up and artest will continue to lead and everyone then will be playing harder.

They did alrite., but still a couple of years before they make a playoff run. Thye have alot of potential though and good young talent dat could becokme great. So thier in better shape now then they were last year. Cuz for da past few years they look lost..

I think the answer would be yes.  The main reason is because US lost.  The US team will try to do everything to win it back, at least once, to prove they are the best.\n\nTeam owners are concerned, but an alternative is to move the game schedule to October.  Most of the players are in better shapes in October than in March.  Plus, even if the players get hurt, it won't affect the regular season so much.

Well....I am a diehard Piston fan, but 3 games in a row against a team like Miami is next to impossible.  If the "good" Piston Team decides to show up, then they have a slim shot.  You can't play poorly as they have the last two series and expect to come out ahead.  If they play like that again, they don't deserve to win!

I believe they will seeing as in the offseason they managed to pick up worthwhile veterans like Mike Piazza and Mike Cameron.  Mix that with the number of young standouts like Jake Peavy and Khalil Green and you have a winning combination.  That does not mean they will make the playoffs though.

I hope so. They started out 0-9 last year but then pulled it together and actually won home court advantage for the first round. Maybe they can come back from their slow start and make the playoffs again. If Tyson Chandler can keep playing the way he has the last few games they got a good shot.

They have a good chance at making the playoffs. I don't think they will go very far. They have a good team ,but they would have to beat better ones. Never know for sure.\nT he best teams don't always win.

They can--but I don't think they will! Lebron's strength in this series is his ability to get "crafty" in the paint--and if the Pistons are wise, they won't contest him every single time, or they will get into foul trouble! Case in point? Lebron will probably continue to do what he is doing--but in the end, will it turn out to be enough???

Yes. They have a very deep roster, and in the playoffs that is crucial. If they can continue to play defense, Dirk steps up, and the bench produces, they have a great chance.
