How does the once great BOSTON CELTICS challange for the NBA title again?
My favourite basketball side the boston celtics who are one of the most successful sides in nba history now struggle each year to make the playoffs. With a very average side maybe paul pierce the exception i cant see how we can challange for the nba title let alone make the playoffs.

it is the len bias curse..ever since that wonderful player threw away his life on a cocaine binge after being drafted second by the celtics the celts started their downhill slide..they won the championship that year and lost in the finals to the lakers the next..and have never made it to the finals since..imagine championships in every decade from the 50's to the 80's and nada since..bias was an impact player considered in in the same league as jordan..they will need another player of such potential to contend again..their last chance was the tim duncan draft year but they lost out on the lottery..if that rumored iverson trade gets done (without trading pierce of course) and the addition of a dominant center..then they may have a chance

They need a better rounded team. Right now there whole game is Paul Pierce. Think about the teams that were in the Finals this year. The Heat had Wade and Shaq. The Mav's had Terry and Nowitzki. The Heat need a nice one-two punch like those teams.

The toughest thing the Celts face is the extremely competitive Eastern Conference. The level of talent is top notch with about 5 teams expected to challenge for the 2007 championship. Miami and Detroit are still the head of the class, with Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, and New Jersey all on the next level. Boston, Indiana, and Philly will fight for that 8th playoff seed.
