Report: Reggie Miller considering NBA return with the Boston Celtics

What about Chicago? It has talent, and its bench is deep. So long as it doesn't start 4-17 again, Chicago has to be the best team in the East ... which would make them the sixth or seventh best team in the West.

 

Oh, there's a question. Plenty of questions. Chicago should be better. Boston's other two starting spots and bench look mighty weak. They don't have a proven point guard on their entire roster. Allen's already past the age where 2-guards usually break down. Who knows how the three stars each accustomed to being offensive option # 1 will mesh together, not to mention that just one injury could derail the whole plan.

Mike's comments remind me of those voices heard screaming that LA would be unbeatable after Malone and Payton joined Kobe and Shaq on the Lakers--sure didn't work out that way. This group will be damn lucky if they get 1 ring, no chance in hell they've got "three" in them.

 

Age means less in the NBA than years of experience. While all three are in their very early 30s, they're playing in their 12th, 10th and 13th seasons. They've got high mileage, and since this team is going to be three stars and nine pretty pedestrian or worse players, an injury to one or God forbid two of the big three and this won't be a pretty good team, it'll be a bad one.

If they all stay healthy, though, especially in this first season, those three might be enough to get them to the conference finals with a solid chance to win that. They traded Al Jefferson and a bunch of average to worse players to get Allen and Garnett, but they'll have to replace those average to worse players with what's available. Which is more average and more worse.

 

Well, it does tell you something about Boston's desperation for worthwhile bench help that it would turn to a 42-year-old retiree. Miller still looked good ever at the end of his career, and he kicked ass as a ringer in the intralawyer hoops game on a very special episode of "Close to Home." But is Miller even in NBA shape? And he was never the Glove, but wouldn't he be a total defensive liability at this point? Maybe they want him just for the trash-talking.

 

15 minutes of Reggie raining three is better than most NBA players shooting twos.

 

I really wish a strong gust of wind would just catch Reggie by the ears and take him away forever.

 

Miller is at best a 15 minute a game contributer at this point. Not a difference maker.

The Celtics won't get far in the playoffs because the team is not willing to spend the money necessary to bring in the quality players needed to fill out the rotation. They really need to go all-in, so to speak, if they want to have a shot at making the Finals in the next year or two. But from what I hear the Celtics aren't even going to use their Mid-Level.

 

If he has flashbacks to when he lit up the Knicks in the playoffs, he will be a difference maker.

 

Hey now, they signed Scot Pollard and Eddie House!

 

What is Kerry Kittles up to these days?

 

Out of basketball. Bad knees.

 

So you are saying he's available for the Celtics?
