The Celtics continue their off-season makeover, with moves that seem designed not just to win a championship, but to provide as many storylines as possible on the way to the championship. Right now, there are already many matchups where one or both parties has a score to settle:
- Shaq vs. Dwyane Wade
- Shaq vs. Chris Bosh
- Shaq vs. Kobe
- Shaq vs. Los Angeles
- Paul Pierce vs. Los Angeles
- Paul Pierce vs. LeBron
- LeBron vs. Boston (beat him in two of the last three playoffs)
- Jermaine O’Neal vs. Ron Artest
- Nate Robinson vs. Dwight Howard
- Eddie House vs. Boston
But the potential for a Delonte-LeBron showdown in the Eastern Conference Finals might be the best of all. And if the Celtics and Heat meet in the conference semi-finals, they might even play on Mother’s Day.
