[@SaifQuraishiLKMKX]

I feel that the Big 3 Era of the Celtics had huge potential to maybe even 3-peat. Kevin Garnett getting injured in 09 really hurt the squad, and Perkins getting hurt and then getting traded a couple seasons later hurt the team as well. The Big 3 when assembled was made to be a win now team seeing as Paul Pierce, KG, and Ray Allen were 31, 32, and 33 respectively. They did exactly what they were supposed to do, win now. I know that us Celtics fans love to hold on to 08, but it was the last championship the franchise won.

[@jjohnson4013]

Even if KG was healthy they would have still lost to the Lakers they were the better team all year

[@anthonyyasona8237]

Don't forget they had a playoff record of 16-10 the most playoff games by a championship team which means they lost a plenty of games in playoffs. They should had swept the 1st round and 2nd round team because they had a high expectation of a 66 win team. Their expected playoff record should at least 16-6 to be recognized as one of the best team of all time. If I will choose between 2008-09 Lakers and 2007-08 Celtics I choose the Lakers despite winning 1 leas regular season of 65-17 but their playoff record is much better 16-7 > 16-10.

Well maybe you shouldn't have started the trend in the first place if you didn't want someone to modify it and better it. Also that excuse they always used( "it's different tho because our big 3 wasn't in our prime" )is ridiculous. You can still be old but in your prime. Kg was defensive player of the year in 08 and still great until about 2012. Pierce was good enough to outplay mvp kobe in the 08 finals and ray allen was still breaking records in the finals in 2010. While d wades prime only lasted one year of Miami's big 3 era

Joseph G they should have won in 09 if not for kg, 10 they got screwed by the nba with the suspension just like the 16 warriors, if Ray Allen doesn’t leave they win in 12 as well with Avery Bradley’s emergence, however Allen couldn’t share time with him and lebron put up a historic performance in game 6

[@finnburke2709]

True but I think a better way to put it was almost and could have been a dynasty. Had injuries to KG not happened in 09 remember that 09 team won I believe 19 in a row and if perkins doesnt get hurt in the 2010 finals game 6 I believe the Celtics win game 7 because what really cost them the game was rebounding and that’s perkins big strength along with defense or even had lebron not left for Miami I believe they would’ve been a dynasty. Rondo getting hurt in 2013 definitely hurt their chances of going farther in the postseason I don’t believe they would’ve made to the finals but i think they could’ve at least won one round of the postseason.
