But, after watching the Boston Celtics torture the Los Angeles Lakers on the glass last June was Phil Jackson's club really all that close? Without Andrew Bynum, the Lakers couldn't rebound or defend the pick-and-roll against the Celtics.

| (Best E Casino) - Conventional wisdom had the Boston Celtics taking a step back in 2008-09. Maybe not a large step in the wrong direction since the Celtics are far too talented to languish but let's face it, the 'Boston Three Party' of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen finally reached the top of the NBA mountain last year so the sense of urgency for the veteran trio is gone.
