Recently, the Big Ticket himself, Kevin Garnett told the fans to buy tickets, all to watch the Celtics' journey to a "guaranteed" title. Well, it has common sense lately to buy a ticket to a Celtics game, a franchise drenched with winning and culture. But Garnett has guaranteed a title for 2010. This is a huge possibility for a Celtics team with a healthy Garnett, a now-experienced Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins, a fit Paul Pierce, and a healthy Ray Allen. Wait, did I just say "healthy" Ray Allen? Yes, I did. He actually admitted to the Boston Globe that he did indeed have a hamstring injury in the Conference semifinals against the Magic. He did not feel it was neccessarry to release the information because he did not think it was that serious. But he did say that it was something he, "had to deal with." And, when asked by the Globe if the injury hindered his performance in the sreies, Allen replied with a typical humble superstar statement, saying, "It wasn't anything that was going to keep me from playing." If you look back to the Celtics' championship team in '08, we were absurdly fortunate to have practically no injuries all season. This year, a battered Celtics team that faced injury after injury, especially late in the season, were one of three NBA teams to finish the season with more than 60 wins.
With everyone back and healthy in 2010, the Celtics have a great chance to win the NBA Finals, and according to Las Vegas, they have a 5-1 chance of winning, in 3rd place just behind Cleveland (2nd place with 3-1 odds) and Los Angeles Lakers (1st place with 5-2 odds).
