Rondo Says 2012 Celtics Are Better Than 2008 Celtics

“I believe this team is more talented than that team…but the key to the 2008 team is that everyone bought into the system….guys probably won’t play their normal amount of minutes that they have in the past because we’re such a talented team.” - Rajon Rondo Bold. Bold statement. That 2008 team was near flawless. And since then, teams like the Knicks, Heat and Lakers have all modeled their franchises after Boston, building “superteams”. Thing is, Boston did it with superstars past their primes and tossed in two young kids, Rondo and Perk. Both Perk and Rondo are now superstars at their respective positions. But yeah, this year’s Boston squad is deep, with the additions of Courtney Lee, Jason Terry, Darko Milicic and a healthy Jeff Green. Boston may very well be the sleeper out East, but they still would have to face a megastorm out in LA after conquering Miami, New York and/or Chicago.
