Despite pushing the Lakers to Game 7 last season, we must keep last year in the past when examining this coming season. The Celtics effectively swapped Rasheed Wallace and Tony Allen with Shaquille O'Neal, Jermaine O'Neal and Delonte West, and thus, their team chemistry will be an experiment in-the-making entering training camp.
More importantly, the Celtics' Big Three of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett isn't getting any younger (they're 32, 35 and 34 years old, respectively). Throw in a 31-year-old Jermaine O'Neal and a 38-year-old Shaq, and you've got the starting lineup of the 2020 Seniors' League All-Star team. Can all of those All-Star appearances and miles on the legs combine to form one more championship effort for Boston?
