You mean ever AGAIN soon, right? LOL.
They can do it this year. Sometimes people are in the right time, right place and just DECIDE, this is it. I see that in the Celts.

I like to think that the Celtics are poised to become title favourites next season, but I can't help but think of them as having a great shot at winning this year.
Truth is, they gotta get Doc out for any chance to win. They gotta go and get JVG so winning it all this yr I doubt is an option. No way can they get by both the pistons and bulls. They can beat Toronto but thats all I will hold this team to with Doc "underachieving" Rivers leading them.
If the Celtics are ever going to win a title, this is going to be their best shot.
This yr or the next. I would bet on 08-09 tho when a better coach will actually be here. JVG I would go with seeing one of his old assistants is here now.

Jeff Van Gundy would be horrible IMO. He would be good for the defense, but he sucks as an offensive coach. His offense in Houston was so stagnant and slow.
They don't need a coach who will do a lot of coaching, more like one who'll manage the young players and make good rotations and then stay outta the way. Anyways, the coach won't ruin a whole damn team with Allen, Pierce and Garnett. The players take the shots, not the coaches.

Right, but when you have three elite scorers on the floor at any given time, you really don't need an overwhelming offensive scheme.

"Kirilenko's eyes started to tear in the locker room as he talked in a shaky voice about his frustrations and inability to stop Pierce. He played just four minutes in the final quarter because of his inept defense, but his small consolation was that none of his teammates could do any better."

"I think he is at a point in his career where he gets very distracted by having a hand in his face."

You may be a hillbilly from ND and **** but you couldn't have summed that up any better. This team does not need any offensive coaching or else were looking like the phoenix suns. JVG is perfect. Oh and the ND sioux logo I like. I'd get that over a Notre Dame hat.
i admire garnett's approach to the game. an approach you can hardly ever see today.
i think it's amazing that he still can be all about winning the title, at least having a shot for it. when i think about all the cry baby so called superstars, he stands out.
“Man, you should see KG every day in practice,” Scalabrine said. “He is a monster. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life."
Whoever thinks that the Celtics aren’t a sure thing to compete for the Eastern Conference championship is kidding themselves. In an East full of teams fighting distractions and dysfunction, from the Wizards to the Bulls, to the Heat and the Cavaliers, the Celtics have an immediate cohesion born out of Garnett, Pierce and Allen’s stations in life.
As the Celtics' season crept toward tipoff, Allen watched the video montage of Red lighting his cigar on the bench, and Cousy dribbling out the clock and Bird stealing the ball and passing it underneath to DJ who laid it in. He watched it all, and the goose-bumps ran up and down his arms. It made him, he said, feel so insignificant. And it made Allen ask himself a question.
“What can we do to put our little dent in Boston sports history?” he wondered later.
They are a long way away, but this was a magnificent start on Friday night at the Garden. Old times in the Olde Towne. When it was over, and the Celtics locker room had emptied out, KG was walking with a towel into the training room. Tommy Heinsohn, the Celtics star and coach turned lovable television homer, walked past and said, “Hey, good one tonight Kevin.”
Now, the nerves, the butterflies, were gone. Now, it was Garnett’s turn with the Celtics, his time, and he flashed that big smile and blurted out to the team’s television analyst, “Hey, did I get any Tommy points tonight?”
And with that, Kevin Garnett let out a roar, laughing and laughing on his way into the training room, his voice still filling the room, the way his greatness had filled the Garden on Friday night. It’s been a long, long time here.
