We all know about the Boston Celtics and their newly acquired "Big 3". The Boston Celtics made a big splash in trades and free agency when they took arguably the best big man in the NBA in Kevin Garnett. They also signed the best shooter in the league, Ray Allen to their squad.
(From the left) Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen hope to improve the Celtics from the worst record in the league last year, to a hopeful Championship ring.
All of the news media have been on the Boston Celtics and their newfound talent, but what most people are forgetting about is the Atlanta Hawks. They made a huge splash in the off-season when they acquired Al Jefferson from trades, Emeka Okafor from free agency, and Gerald Wallace from free agency as well. They also have Joe Johnson returning for next year. The biggest difference between this Huge Four and Boston's Big Three is that the Huge four has one other "big" player and all four of those players they acquired are of age 22, 24, 25, and 26 which is compared to Boston's 30, 31, and 32. If the Hawks play their cards right and they resign their players, in a couple of years, Al Jefferson and Emeka Okafor will develop into the best big men combo in the league and they will take championship rings by storm! Another point that makes the Boston Celtics inferior to the Hawks is that the Hawks have much better depth then the Celtics. With Nick Young, Shelden Williams, Josh Smith, and Jarrett Jack the Hawks may even contend for the ring this year.
Joe Johnson brings a great defense with quick hands to the other big acquisitions of the Hawks.
Just don't be surprised when their is a first seed, second seed match up of the Hawks and the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals for the next few years!
These two teams will dominate the league for years to come!
