@ Krazee...I understand you're bracing for the worst, but if you're not disappointed in anything less than a championship, there's something wrong with you. These players were brought in to win a championship NOW; Allen, Garnett, and Pierce aren't going to be playing in 10 years (at least not at this level). This would be, IMO, the equivilant to the Lakers losing with Malone, Shaq, Kobe, and Payton.
