They might drop down to #2 if they don't have Ray... I'd doubt it though.

He was basically a no show, actually hurting the team against Memphis, and the Celts still won convincingly. And the games he missed the Celts cruised along just fine. Personally I feel during the regular season he will not be appreciated as much as when playoffs come. I think that when the Celts are blowing teams away his game is overlooked, but in close games his shooting is going to come up huge, like in the Toronto game at the end.
Without Allen, Garnett refuses to come to a team as crappy as Boston, and Pierce spends the year pouting as they continue to tank hoping to get a superstar in the draft, at which point they'd trade Pierce for dirt.
