What was Miami thinking when they went after Troy?  :slap:

I am liking the Celtics out of the East.

Those Celtics thus far trumps Miami at every turn.  I think Boston has less one last year where they are a bit better than the others.  Hard to pick against them.

So weird that he languished in New Jersey....a (Sparta) New Jersey boy and all.

But, Kris Humphries is having a breakout year and they felt strongly enough about that to trade their other Power Forward, 1st round draft pick Derrick Favors, in the blockbuster Deron Williams trade with Utah.

There's only a couple guys in the NBA posting better rebounding numbers per minute than him right now.....Joakim Noah and Kevin Love.

I thought Troy Murphy would've been a better fit in Miami where his length, rebounding and 3-point range could've made more of an impact.

Boston already has tall bodies (tho they just traded away two 7-footers last week) about and 3 point marksmen in Ray Allen and Paul Pierce.

The Celts would now seem to be the team to beat for the title this year.
