That’s what boggled me for the following season – he was such an integral part of the team (our 6th man) but somehow Ainge thought he was replaceable?

The team started the following season 27-2. Then Kevin Garnett got hurt. They went .500 the rest of the way. This is why the Celtics didn’t win a second with Pierce, Garnett, and Allen.

If KG didn’t get hurt they were winning the title. It wasn’t because of James Posey.

Posey allowed them to go small w shooting/defense at the 4. They’d often go to him and House to provide shooting when behind
However KG’s injury and his subsequent limitations afterwards is what hindered their chances the most
In 3rd place it was Perkins injury in the finals against a team that had 3 seven footers and dominated the glass in game 7

Doc Rivers is the reason we didn’t go back to back. Worst coach in nba history

Supremely clutch in the finals

Without Ray Allen, that team is Dookie and anyone disagreeing with this fact is also Dookie
