Celtics flying under the radar?

With all the power rankings that are out it seems that the celtics are fifth in power rankings

The addition of Rasheed Wallace makes the Celtics' frontline more intimidating than it already was. But more important to their quest for another title are the health of Kevin Garnett and the psyche of Rajon Rondo. You have to wonder about both.

Are they crazy?!?!?! Kg is coming off his first injury of his career and that guy is a beast he has been working out like mad you think he enjoyed sitting all those games hellllll no! as for rondo its a contract year he is going to do amazing things if he averages a triple double i wont be surprised this is the year when eveyrone realizes how good rondo is and how he was sadly overlooked last year for the all star game.

oh and adding rasheed wallace makes us more intimidating up front are you serious? that by far makes it the best front court in the league! oh perkins is out with shoulder problem oh no now we have to put in sheed...oh kg needs to rest more ok im gonna bite the bullet and put in sheed what team doesnt want that option?

there hasnt been alot of news for the nba lately so please somebody tell them to update their power rankings and fix it because i cant see how the lakers the cavs then magic then spurs can be an accruate

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

Under the radar??

This is good. We were underrated in the championship year also. Good, when we beat their butts, they won’t know what hit them. ESPN & Sports Illustrated, Hoopsworld, Yahoo,
let them all brag about LA, Spurs, Cavs, Magic. We will come out of nowhere and win #18!
I do find it insulting, but……amusing also.

Who cares what all the media thinks...

EVERY ONE WILL KNOW THAT WE ARE THE BEST AFTER THE SEASON IS DONE AND WE ARE RAISING BANNER 18 AND GETTING OUR RINGS FOR THE OPENING NIGHT OF THE 2010-2011 SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!

annoying

i agree as well its a good thingbut for once i would like to see boston get their dues and be put at number one the have always been underrated even when they won 8 in a row they were never always favored to win…im glad once again we are under the radar but still i would like to see them put them on top

Good, lack of respect will only provide additional motivation...

The low ranking is strictly due to the notion that the Celts are “old”…and injuries will continue to strike all their players over 32.

Remember

Like 90% of the media picked the Lakers to win the Finals in 2008.Most of them picked the Pistons to,and 50-50 picked the Cavs over the Celtics. It does get annoying,but the final reward is much sweeter. There age doesn’t even scare me.It’s just the injuries.

if its the injuries thats hurtin our ranking nationally why arnt the spurs ranked lower than us on the power rankings they r way more injury prone than the celtics

injurie prone

how about the lakers with bynum who knows if he will be there a whole season without messing his knees up, gasol had surgery on his hand what about that, hows lamars back?

spurs nuff said we may be old but our old guys dont need walkers the spurs olld guys on the other hand…ginobli has been pretty accident prone, isnt the reason blair went in the 2nd round cuz no one knew how his knees will hold up, tony parker messed his ankle up playing for france

cleveland shaq aint no spring chicken and he has been known to get some injuries when in the east a la miami heat

celtics- kg is coming off surgery but other then that when have our guys been injured sure we find out that ray and pierce played through lots ofinjuries but they dont make excuses and still win 62 games not at 100 percent imagine how many games we win if everyone was 100 percent thwhole year 82 games wouldnt seem that far fetched
