They're defense isn't as good as last year and they're going to run into the same problems they've had the last few years in the playoffs... Offense. They have no superstar who can carry them consistently game after game and through important stretches

Celtics have been a mediocre / average team all year and have shown little or no signs of being a real threat to anyone. Get real.

Not true, they are 21-13 with Bradley, Pierce and KG in the starting lineup, which is what it will look like in the playoffs. That's on a pace for 50+ wins.

The truth is that the team has been riddled by injuries but with those three healthy at the same time, they've been a good team.

Knicks, Yankees, Giants and The BX
Because everybody's judging them based on this last month without KG. Only KG gives them a chance, with him on the floor they get the calls and his illegal screens. It's obvious Pierce, while he's a good player and a cold blooded finisher, doesn't get anything close to star treatment. If the C's beat the Knicks it'll be Doc Rivers out coaching Woodson and KG getting his normal treatment and getting away with them ridiculous screens with Pierce and Green chipping in.
