....because there's not enough basketballs to go around........

Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen are career losers.

... a 2nd year point guard cant direct 3 high scoring vets. As soon as one doesnt get enough shots, they'll be complaining to Rondo.

"...Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish ain't walkin' through that door...."

"...Danny Ainge is a snake..."

"...Pierce is a loser..."

"...Pierce doesn't defend..."

"...Pierce is too fat..."

"...Pierce waddles up the floor..."

"...Pierce can't create his own shot because he's overweight..."

"...Pierce will put himself ahead of the team..."

"...The Celtics don't have a center or a point guard (Rasheed Wallace)..."

They are too old and played too many playoff games therefore are tired.

"...Because the Raptors have too much depth."

Because the Chicago Bulls are a more complete team with more chemistry.

The Big 3 are passed their prime. This is like Barkley, Pippen and Olajuwon.

Ray Allen is too old and he has bad ankles, no shooting guard is any good after 32.

Pierce's ego want let him accept not being the man.

KG isn't a real low post presence.

They are too weak at the pg and center position to win a championship.

But my favorite is...

Doc Rivers isn't a championship caliber Head Coach.

Ding dong that bitch is dead.

because new york has a formidable front court

"...because the Lakers offense is unstoppable."

Wow, after reading this thread so far it's clear the Celtics don't have a shot. You Celtics posters are a bunch of whining homers.

"The West is better than the East"

Because ESPN says they won't...love it!

They've gone as far as saying we'd come third in the Atlantic to the Raptors and the Knicks. How funny is that?

Moving on:

... because Kevin Garnett comes up small in all big games...
... because the Lakers are just too good...
... because Ray Allen is old and is done....
... because Pierce is a below average defender and Allen can't guard a chair...
... because you don't build a bench in an offseason...

SURE THEY CAN MAKE THE PLAYOFFS BUT THEY CANT COMPETE WITH THE BEST OF THE WEST

The Hawks took you to seven games!!!

"...Because they can't win a road game in the playoffs to save their lives"
"...Because Kobe is bound to go off"
"...Because we chant BEAT L.A."

If you can't stop Joe Johnson, what is Lebron James going to do to you?

Early in the season or even before:

There's no bench
The Big Three are all losers
The Big Three are too selfish

During the playoffs themselves:

Kobe has a real killer instinct, unlike the Big Three

Those are the ones that have been proven to be downright stupid. Others, even though wrong, generally were at least somewhat sensible.

... because P2 says this isn't a championship team.

Wait let me retype that.

... because P2 says "THIS ISN'T A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM!!!"
