The so-called new Big Three in Celtic Green


With the arrival of Kevin Garnett in Boston a host of commentators -- local and nationwide -- think the Celtics have a serious chance to make a run at the East championship. While I am pleased about Garnett wearing Celtic Green, I do think the team is short 2 or 3 quality players. Rajon Rondo is a solid defensive player who can drive and dish, but he has no outside shot to speak of. There are some other promising, young players on the team, but they are that: young and promising, no more. The Boston Globe's Bob Ryan hits the nail squarely on the head with his analysis of the difference between the new big three and the great Big Three of Bird, Parrish, and McHale.
