i definetly think we are the favorites to repeat. the loss of posey hurts, but im happy that the celtics were smart enough not to give him the contract that the hornets did. we certainly can't replace what he brought, but we can add something else. like we saww in the playoffs against the hawks, our major weakness was a lack of athletisism on the perimeter. with tony allen hopefully at full strength and the additions of giddens and walker (both which i like a lot), we sured up that problem. I believe our team defense with an year under thibadeau, will improve, and im expecitng a champtionship next year.
