Continuing our focus on experience, the Boston Celtics head into the 2011 NBA Playoffs having been to two out of the last three championship series. The C’s were oh so close last year, defeating the best in the east before falling to the Lakers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Another year is weighing down this aging group of Celtics, so it begs the question, if they couldn’t win it all in 2010, how are they going to win it all in 2011?

Home Games Played At: TD Garden

Key Players: Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo

Head Coach: Doc Rivers

How They Fared in 2010: Lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in game 7 of the NBA Finals

Boston Celtics Playoffs Prediction For 2011: Like a fine wine, the Boston Celtics seem to get better with age. But, like all good things, the road must end for this group of cagey veterans. The Boston Celtics have a minimum of 4 future hall-of-famers, Paul Pierce, KG, Shaquille O’Neal, the new all time 3pt leader, Ray Allen – and possibly a fifth, with all-star guard Rajon Rondo in the mix. There is no doubt that this is now Rondo’s team, especially with coach Doc Rivers probably coaching his last season. And, as much energy as Rondo brings each night, is it enough to energize the big 3 and Shaq to the point they can win four playoff series? Its hard to pick against the Celtics, and in doing so, we would be surprised if we were wrong. But… It just seems as if the collective star power, and younger star power, of the Miami Heat will be tough much for the Celtics to contain in a seven game series. And, if Boston were to defeat Miami in a likely second round matchup, its tough to see them having enough fuel in the tank to beat Derrick Rose and the even younger Chicago Bulls. Bottom line is the Celtics will fall short this year, and we will probably see this Boston group of players relevant for the last time.
