Boston Celtics to take the East

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
You know Kevin Garnett is happy to hear that Sports Illustrated ranks Boston 1st for next year in the East
Marty Burns of SI predicts the top 6 in the East.
He has Boston number 1.
1. Celtics: The loss of veteran forward James Posey (via free agency to the Hornets) could hurt, especially come playoff time, but for now Boston has to be considered the East favorite again. General manager Danny Ainge re-signed key reserves Eddie House and Tony Allen, and Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen should be even better with another year together (assuming they’re not too worn out from last season’s long playoff run). The bottom line is that the defending champs didn’t make any significant moves … but they didn’t need to.
The only real surprise was dropping the Detroit Pistons to 6th.
