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

Re: Play the game! "Boston won't win a championship..."
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.

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.

Re: Play the game! "Boston won't win a championship..."
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...

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.

My favorite is still "beacuse no one on the celtics committed a felony"
or "Phil Jackson is the greatest coach in his sleep" That is about the only place he is a good coach.

Well, you guys stole my thunder. "Worst team in the league 4-12," from Bob Ryan. Unless I'm remembering wrong, it didn't even take him a week after we got KG to write that.
Now he's acting like he's more green than Tommy Heinsohn. Give me a break.

By far the most obnoxious was: "If one of the Big 3 go down, then they're screwed."
Also: "They're doing OK in the regular season, but the playoffs are another story."
Patriots references were also thrown around every so often. I guess it had something to do with getting great results only to have everything wash away at the end, but it seemed more like a poorly-veiled cheap shot to get a rise out of the board. Pretty lame either way. Not all of us live and die with the Pats just because we root for a New England sports team.
There was also this little gem from the General Forum ('nuff said) before House and Posey joined up, in response to Boston's 3rd best player being superior to Chicago's first. I'd track it down if this new setup wasn't driving me up the wall, but the gist of it was that the rest of the Celtics (4 on down) would have a hard time even finding a spot on Chicago's [i]entire roster[i]. Oh, and this was while Mike Sweetney was still on the team.
And Toronto's obsession with superior depth can't be overstated. That evolved (unintentionally) to Chuck Norris internet puns.
