Today we will look ahead with the Boston Celtics.
The Celtics took the Lakers to seven games in last season's NBA Finals. Most will say they lost due to Kendrick Perkins injury, personally I think it was inconsistent PG play that cost them a second half lead.
The consistency of the PG play will be a question as Rajon Rondo is the only "true" PG on the team.
The health of Perkins and C production will be a question also. Perkins is still hurt and the remaining C option are both past their prime years, Jermaine O'Neal and Shaquille O'Neal. With the minimal production each O'Neal has shown the last few years what the Celtics get from the C spot is a total unknown.
Will Shaq become a distraction is another question. Whether Shaq has any gas left in the tank is up to debate. What isn't is that his hunger for attention can destroy teams. Shaq and his "look at me" routine may be what slams the Celtic window of opportunity shut.
Up next will be the most talked about team this offseason, the Miami Heat.
