What happened to the Boston Celtics? I guess they couldn't win a NBA title without the trio. The Celtics really missed Kevin Garnett this post season as they were eliminated in the second round by the Magic. They were embarassed in front of their home crowd in game 7 as they were destroyed by the magic by a final score of 101-82. And the Celtics lost their chances of having a repeat. After having one of the best season in Celtics history last year to end it with a series win against the Lakers to capture their 17th title. Then the injury to Kevin Garnett during the season is what cost the Celtics a shot at a repeat. They went from 66 wins last year to 62 wins this year. Its not a big drop. It is still a excellent record. And you have to remember that at the end of the season the Celtics did not have the big ticket and they still managed to grab the number 2 seed in the eastern conference. They were three games ahead of the Orlando Magic who were in the number 3 seed and 4 games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers who were the overall number one seed. Maybe the next year when kevin garnett comes back they will get another shot for the NBA record 18th title.
