Who's going to lead Celtics to the NBA finlas this season?

I prefer to think that no single player will lead this team to the Finals. Every player will have their roles - no matter how small - on the road to #18.

This team does have leaders (the big three and Doc), but to them the "WE" is more important than the "I" and the "ME".

[PosImpos]

Paul Pierce.  KG is the leader of our defense and also the best player on our team (when fully healthy), but Pierce is the captain.  He's our leader.

If he is injured (God forbid) we can kiss our Finals hopes goodbye.  Pierce is not our best player overall but I think he's the player we can least afford to lose.

TP. Definitely agree with this. Pierce just brings that consistency game in and game out. We rely on him a ton and he has not missed any time due to injury in the past couple years. I think we could definitely adjust a lot better if garnett were to miss time with our added front court depth as well as an improved baby, and i think we could adjust a bit if ray ray were to miss time with eddie and now daniels.

If Rondo is the one that leads us to the finals i would be absolutely ecstatic. The would most likely mean that he was playing at an all-star level which would be very dangerous for the opposing team given the rest of our squad.

That's because we refuse to replace Posey.  If Pierce goes down for any length of time, our W/L is gonna take a big hit.

I really don't think we refuse to replace posey. Who do you suggest we pick up or trade for? Marquis Daniels will spell pierce this year when he is not giving ray a break. Also Pierce only played about 1.5 more minutes a game this past year than during 07-08. I do agree that if Pierce goes down we will take a big hit obviously. He has been the most durable out of the big three during his career though only having missed significant time in 06 07, and he seems to have bounced back from that fine playing in 161 out of 164 games in the past 2 years.

You saw the Chicago series. This was the first of many series where Rondo dominated the whole court every game of the series.

TOWEL-WAVING TONY!!!!!!!!!!

No one waves a towel as inspirationally as Tony can!

KG.  He's brought so much energy and intensity for so long, and he's never had a break as long as the one he just had.  He's rested and ready to go.  JOSE CALDERON, BEWARE!
