  F*ck the celtics.

• krasimir Posted: Sep.15 at 8:36 am
  posey leaving might be a big loss,but look for bigger contributions from their young players.especially rondo should be better this year.for the eastern conference though i like the cavs’ chances better

• steve garfield Posted: Sep.15 at 8:37 am

  Barring a Tom Brady-like season ending injury to KG or Paul, the Celts should be in the Conference Finals again. Losing Posey hurts, but fortunatley for them there really isn’t another Posey-like player they’ll have to deal with on an opposing team in the East that could derail them.

• Hursty Posted: Sep.15 at 9:26 am
  Sexiest picture ever.ROFLMAO!

• Hursty Posted: Sep.15 at 9:35 am
  There isnt a team old enough, experienced enough or skilful enough to prevent the Pistons OR the Celtics from making the Conference Finals again this year. Philly is interesting, but they havent got past the 1st round yet. Orlando is too young. Miami wont make the playoffs. Atlanta is Atlanta and they lost a HUGE piece of their success in Josh Childress. The ONLY other team capable of challenging is the Cavs who are the same in every position or have upgraded or added depth. See the point, 2 and PF/C.

• Froggiestyle Posted: Sep.15 at 9:36 am
  What Eboy said - Posey’s shoes won’t be so easy to fill. Oh and love the big baby photo - pricelesss

• Eboy Posted: Sep.15 at 9:39 am
  Hursty, I think Orlando could surprise and if Philly can gel like the Celts did last year, they’ll be strong. The Cavs and the Lebron factor can also be landscaping changing and I’m sure the Pistons would love to miss them ANYWHERE in the playoff seedings. It should be a Det/Bos/Clev trio fighting for the conf. title.

• TADOne Posted: Sep.15 at 10:06 am
  Big Baby and that trophy need to get a room.

• Josh Posted: Sep.15 at 10:09 am
  Why is there a question if Pierce can play like an all-star all season? He’s been one for six seasons. It’s not like last season was just a fluke season for a player who got hot. He’s been a fantastic player for a long time. It’s rough going playing with teams that have Ricky Davis and Mark Blount playing major roles (especially when Ricky Davis is considered the second best player on that team and gets handed a lot of responsibilities like part-time point and defensive marker, among others) or squads that are 90 percent comprised of players in their first three years in the league including four high schoolers at one time. I also don’t question if Perkins can continue to do what he did last season, namely, play outstanding defense and do a so-so job of finishing around the basket (I know he shot over 60 percent last year but it should have been 70 percent for all the bunnies he got handed to him all year, I can’t count how many times I shouted at him not to bounce the ball on the floor underneath the basket and just go quickly up with it). He’s always been a very good defender and I don’t think there’s much of a year-to-year fluctuation on post defense. I think he’s even a better post defender than Garnett.

• Money Bill Williams Posted: Sep.15 at 10:22 am
  No Tad, someone needs to tell Davis that the trophy isn’t a big one of those coins that you unwrap and there is milk chocolate inside

• Hursty Posted: Sep.15 at 10:23 am
  Like I said Eboy. But its pure speculation. Which is what makes the game fun. But the Celtics were for real when they won their first 15 games or so, nobody could stop them. Until Detroit played them. I will wait until January before making up my mind on PHI.

• B. Long Posted: Sep.15 at 10:24 am
  Any team that loses James Posey and adds Darius Miles automaticly can’t advance to the Finals. Ask David Stern.

• BETCATS Posted: Sep.15 at 11:15 am
  cool!!!!!!!!

• BETCATS Posted: Sep.15 at 11:23 am
  Celtics mvp

• Darksaber Posted: Sep.15 at 12:00 pm
  They better give Powe / Davis more PT. KG is a beast, but even he can’t keep up that maniacal style of play for 100+ games two years in a row can he? But hey, they do have the best player in the world (according to him) in their midst, all is well. And if Darius gives them just 80% of what he was on offence, they’ll have a nice option there. Work on the catch & shoot three’s Darius.

• Tarzan Cooper Posted: Sep.15 at 1:29 pm
  “big game james”? posey is good and all, but james worthy is rollin over in his grave.

• Diogo Posted: Sep.15 at 4:11 pm
  That pic is so gay.

• Moose Posted: Sep.15 at 4:32 pm
  I agree with Darksaber, give Powe and Big Baby more playing time. As a Celtics fan, i found myself yelling at the TV waiting for especially Powe to get in the game. And I don’t know if you guys remember this, but there was this one game against the Pistons where Big Baby got like two three point plays in one minute deep in the fourth quarter and got the celtics to take the lead and the win.

• Justin Posted: Sep.15 at 4:35 pm
  Late pass.
  Have all the Season Previews been assigned already?

• BETCATS Posted: Sep.15 at 7:13 pm
  yeah Justin. I am writting the Bobcats one!!!!!!!!!!!

• B. Long Posted: Sep.15 at 7:46 pm
  I’m SOOO jealous, BET.

• Justin Posted: Sep.15 at 8:22 pm
  AARRGGHHH! Another year, another missed chance!
  (Not that I thought I had one….)
  I know EBoy has the HEAT, who got the Magic? It’d better be on point.

• BETCATS Posted: Sep.15 at 8:30 pm
  Justin, maybe nobody does. SLAM guys often get stuck with multiple previews, so go email Ryne and ask if you can have it.

• Moose Posted: Sep.15 at 8:35 pm
  Sammy Newman-Beck, you got a slamonline comment screen name?

• vegas Posted: Sep.15 at 8:59 pm
  screw the celtics, the only person i like is the big ticket, as long as he gets some reconition i dont really care about the celtics

• Moose Posted: Sep.15 at 9:03 pm
  Oh, Kg will get recognition for you, vegas.

• Justin Posted: Sep.15 at 9:32 pm
  BETCATS,
  Ryne? E-Mail?

• Dacre Posted: Sep.15 at 10:49 pm
  I like the fact that the Lakers and Boston are relevant again…but I want a Suns - Hawks final so I’m just wasting space yet again…

• Darksaber Posted: Sep.16 at 8:51 am
  Justin. Ryne..E-Mail. Talk to the man, or maybe he’ll holla at you first. He did with me, shocked me for a week straight that i was writing to an actual “slammer”.

• Justin Posted: Sep.16 at 8:56 am
  Darksaber,
  Is that Ryan Jones? Can’t find an e-mail….any help would be appreciated.

• Gerard Himself Posted: Sep.16 at 10:52 am
  man, if Walker’s healthy….

• Beth Posted: Sep.17 at 6:37 pm
  that photo is HILARIOUS

• Fresh Posted: Sep.18 at 11:56 am
  @Hursty I like your point about the experince factor that might give those veteran teams the little edge.
  and althought the Celtics are really talent there are still alot of what IF’s like the previous off season and will the Celtics be hungry enough to put all these what IF’s to rest. They did say they were coming in for that champtionship in that first year, because that was the most important thing to them. But are they that interested in a mini dynasty

• markthesnitch Posted: Sep.23 at 4:51 pm
  championship preview. we repeating!
