As BOS fans, we should "Never Say Never."

Sure, KG and Ray aren't walking through that door again, but Marc and LaMarcus could. Or any other combo of stars/pieces.
Things are SO fluid with BOS...in the late 70's, early 80s Red was maneuvering this team to acquire Kevin and Chief - just like Danny is now waiting patiently (AGAIN) for the right moment to act.
Let's not put a limit on who will/could come to BOS. Why as BOS fans have we become accustomed to being cynical?
I guess I really like fantasizing KO lifting nr 18 as captain of the team 5-6 years from now, with Young as Finals MVP.
It is more like immature optimism than cynicism.
Are you being serious now? Or Trolling?
Are you really THAT pessimistic about BOS? Have you heard about the Celtics Mystique? No other team has that, btw.
It's called Mystique because of people like KG, Shaq (Yes - Shaq...BOS looked like World Beaters while he was healthy in Green).
PP, Ray, Larry, Chief, Kevin, Russell, Cousy, Hondo, Cowens, Tommy, Satch...so many stars on this team to suit up in Green.
As you can't seem to see KO or even Marcus in a few years perhaps hoisting Banner 18, I guess that was the same outlook I perhaps had prior to Summer of 2007.
What we all may see NOW - could be much different in a couple of years or even sooner.
BOS is too steeped in TRADITION to not contend again - just like the Lakers. As much as I despise them and HOPE they lose 60 games this year - they WILL be back, too.
*No - I actually hope Lakers lose "just enough" to BARELY miss the playoffs....I want the ping pong balls to NOT be in their favor at all.*
But as for BOS let's enjoy this season and look to the bright future, here. Stop all the doom and gloom nonsense.
