If you haven't seen, the Celtics just eclipsed 60 wins, their biggest win total in 22 years, 1986, the last year they won the championship, a 67 win team, one of the best in league history. Although unlikely, the Celtics can match this win total by winning out their remaining games. This will surely begin a fascinating era in the history of Boston sports, the Reign of Garnett.
Even before Danny Ainge was given the unenviable task of breathing life back into a dying team in the post-Bird era, he had single handedly destroyed everything he had been in charge of. Who can forget the trade of (basically) Brandon Roy for Sebastian Telfair? Or the acquisition of Raef LaFrentz? Or the signing of Brian Scalabrine to a 5 year extension at $3 mill a year?
So obviously this made Garnett the perfect fit for the Celtics. But what will we really remember about Garnetts's team?
God Bless Danny Ainge and Kevin Garnett
