Since then, however, Boston has gone 14-14. Asked to compare these Celtics to the 2008 champs, Lakers forward Pau Gasol said: “Three years older and three years later.”
Gasol’s math might be a little off, but he’s clearly hesitant about labeling the Celtics as a legitimate title contender. “They have to prove it themselves,” Gasol said. “It’s going to be tough.

Laugh it up, fuzz ball.
The Celtics are playing the disrespect card. Doc's already talking about people jumping off the bandwagon.
So everyone keep yapping about how the Celtics are done.
Keep yapping.
