Last year the Boston Celtics finished with a second worst league record of 24-58. They set a new Franchise record for most consecutive losses in one season with 18. With the absence of The Captain Paul Pierce for the majority of the season, it was easy to see why they lost some games, but not 58.
In the off season rumors had been speculating on whether or not the Celtics were going to improve their personnel by acquiring better players and veterans who have been in the league for a while, hoping to make a run at the NBA Title. None of this happened until NBA draft night 2007, when rumors started flaring up about the Celtics trading for NBA all star Ray Allen. When this happened and the trade was all settled the City of Boston was excited and thought that a run at the playoffs was possible with Ray Allen and Paul Pierce leading the team.
After Draft night, rumors started again about NBA super star Kevin Garnette one of the premier forwards in the league asked for a trade. The possible teams trying to trade for Garnette were The L.A. Lakers, Boston Celtics, and Chicago Bulls. when Garnette heard that Ray Allen had been sent top the Celtics he agreed to come to Boston.
The fact that there are now three superstars are [back] in Boston, the Celtics have a chance at winning the title this year. With the Trio of Pierce Allen and Garnette the Celtics are now ranked number one in the league and have the best record with 17 wins, and 2 losses so far. even though it is quite early in the season, the Celtics look like a force once again in the NBA.
