Well they haven't but a reason that they should is cause they don't wanna relive the days where Bird, McHale, & Parish left & they were terrible. I felt that they shoulda broke up the team & rebuild for the future. Get some picks & plus its kinda obvious that Stern hates the Celtics & will keep them from getting very high draft picks. Some say he didn't want them to win the title this year. If it was a guarantee that they'll win another title that's 1 thing but the GAP BAND=Garnett, Allen, Pierce are a year older, best to trade them a year earlier than a year later.
And those who are sad about the Laker Celtic rivalry being dead, hey it happened before. It died in 1992 when Bird & Magic retired. Besides, there are times when you gotta learn to like something else.

I think the death of Len Bias and Reggie Lewis also hurt the Celtics rebuilding in the late 80's, early 90's.
Why the hate for the Celtics/Lakers rivalry. I am someone who grew up watching it, had hoped to see it revived again, and am glad to have 3 great years of it. It's not the 10 year struggle of the 60's, or the 4 year classic of the 80's, but it was 3 years of hard playing basketball that will fit into the story nicely. Until both teams reach this level again.

You know tho man, the rivalry is NOWHERE near what it was during the Bird/Magic years. The Celtics have really only been good the last few years and the recent Laker teams dont exactly drop any jaws like the Showtime Lakers did. The three-peat Lakers were very good. But this current squad isnt seen as great in anyway.
