Roster Breakdown

At least until mid-February, the Celtics will be without starting center Kendrick Perkins who tore his ACL in the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers last season. The Celtics went out and signed Jermaine and Shaquille O???Neal to lessen the blow of not having Perkins in the lineup for the time being.

Not many people expected the Celtics to accomplish what they accomplished last season. They were supposed to be too old and they even flirted with the idea of trading away Ray Allen throughout the year.

Instead, the Celtics made it to the NBA Finals and they lost in seven games to the Lakers. Now, they will gear up for one last run with the big three of Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett along with a budding superstar in Rajon Rondo who might be the best player on this team now.

This will likely be Doc Rivers last season in Boston as he flirted with retirement this year before ultimately deciding to come back for one final season with the Celtics.
