This just crossed my mind... The Celts have faced Wade, James and Howard.  Assuming Boston and LA win their series, with the addition of Kobe, the Celts will have faced a member of the All NBA First Team in every round.  I'd be surprised if this has ever happened before.

I was going to make a thread on this, but was waiting until this series was over.

It was going to be a "Wade, James, Howard... Bryant? Do I notice a pattern?" thread.

We're basically beating the most dominant players in the NBA every round so far.

Haha maybe I'm jumping the gun, considering PHX is about to take game 3...I would highly doubt it though.

He's been saying that.  He kind of stressed the offensive side though.  I'm not sure I disagree with him.  He's no beast but he is super smart and super skilled.  He would be an amazing fit with a well rounded ubuntu team like the Celtics.

And next year when they play, Rondo will still be on their own team, countering the other first-teamers throughout the playoffs!
