Last Thursday, I commenced a 2008-09 NBA team preview, beginning with the Oklahoma City Thunder; today, I examine the Boston Celtics and their prospects for this upcoming campaign:
Rather fitting that I start with the reigning NBA champions as they probably have the smoothest road to the NBA finals this season.A The only question is whether [...]
