  1. In my honest opinion the main reason they couldn't win another ring is after Garnett got that injury in 2009 he wasn't the same player. KG looked way less explosive and slow in the 2010 playoffs and finals.

  2. Doc is mid. Injuries. David Stern and his zebra striped flunkies. Bullied Bron until dude leveled up his mentality and squad. Ray is a traitor.

  3. I don't want to hear the Perkins injury excuse. The Lakers were missing Andrew Bynum in the first Finals matchup.

  4. that celtics team had me arguing against miami heat and laker fans left and right that 2012 ECF had it gone the other way would change the big 3 heats legacy

  5. If Perkins doesn't shred his knee in game 6 of the 2010 finals, Boston wins game 6 and the championship. Boston was up 3-2 in the series and the injury happened in the 1st quarter. People forget that Perkins was a problem for the laker bigs. I'll go to my grave believing that the celtics win game 6 if the knee injury doesn't happen.

  6. Even a 5th grader version of myself knew they SHOULD'VE PLAYED MORE OF RASHEED earlier IN THE SERIES…. Just imagine that… But you know doc is doc and you knew he aint adjusting to any thing.

  7. When your best player in the team was Paul Pierce, someone who only had 1x all-NBA 2nd team and 3x all-NBA 3rd team, you were lucky to even win 1 championship. Doesn't help that you have Doc Rivers as your coach

  8. That knee injury k.g. had change this team still was able to compete but to me they should had been in a championship series for 3-4 years before trading Kendrick Perkins

  9. Simple answer is Doc is overrated, Thibs defense is what put them over and Lakers had two starters hurt. Had LA been at full strength I doubt they even win 1

  10. Kevin Garnett got injured. That’s the reason. Perkins got injured in game six in the 2010s Finals otherwise they may have had a 3-peated.

  11. Doc Rivers has milked this chip like no one else. Honestly this has been one of the most disappointing teams of all time. Stop hyping these celtics please. lol.
