The 10 Worst Celtics Moments This Decade
It was quite a decade for Celtics fans. While we've enjoyed a great deal of
success over the past few seasons, lets not forget the misery we endured for
the first seven years of the decade.


Here's my list of the worst Celtics moments in the 2000s. If you agree or
disagree, let us know in the comments.


  10. The Vin Baker Trade - July 2002*


The Celtics acquired the former Univ. of Hartford star and Shammond Williams
for Kenny Anderson, Vitaly Potapenko and Joe Forte. At the time, Baker was
coming off two subpar seasons and had 4 years, $50 million remaining on his
contract.  Baker struggled mightily with alcohol and weight issues. He was
released in 2004.

 9. Rick Pitino's Rant - March 2000

"Larry Bird is not walking through that door, fans. Kevin McHale is not
walking through that door, and Robert Parish is not walking through that
door. And if you expect them to walk through that door, they're going to be
gray and old. What we are is young, exciting, hard-working, and we're going
to improve. People don't realize that, and as soon as they realize those
three guys are not coming through that door, the better this town will be for
all of us because there are young guys in that (locker) room playing their
asses off. I wish we had $90 million under the salary cap, I wish we could
buy the world. We can't; the only thing we can do is work hard, and all the
negativity that's in this town sucks. I've been around when Jim Rice was
booed. I've been around when Yaz was booed. And it stinks. It makes the
greatest town, greatest city in the world, lousy. The only thing that will
turn this around is being upbeat and positive like we are in that locker
room... and if you think I'm going to succumb to negativity, you're wrong.
You've got the wrong guy leading this team."

The exclamation point on Pitino's crappy tenure in Boston.

 8. Red Auerbach Dies  - Oct 2006

The patriarch of the Celtics franchise dies of a heart attack at age 89. His
resume is unmatched - 9 championships, 938 victories, the drafting of Larry
Bird and the deal that brought Robert Parish and Kevin McHale to Boston. It's
a shame Red didn't get to enjoy the 2008 championship.

 7. Tony Allen's Knee Injury - Jan 2007


Tony was enjoying the best season of his career before shredding his knee on
a dunk attempt after the whistle. He was averaging 20 points and 5 rebounds
per game in the month of Jan. He hasn't been the same since.

6. The Joe Johnson Trade - Feb 2002

Celtics GM Chris Wallace ships the rookie Johnson (along with Randy Brown,
Milt Palacio and first round pick) to Phoenix for Rodney Rogers and Tony
Delk. It was a decent trade at the time, since Rogers and Delk helped the
Celtics reach the Eastern Conference Finals. But that team was blown up a
year later, while Johnson went on to become one of the games top shooting
guards.


  5. The Antoine Walker-for-Raef LaFrentz Trade - Oct 2003

Unhappy with Antoine's style of play, Danny Ainge moved the brash young
forward (along with Tony Delk) to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Raef
LaFrentz, Chris Mills, Jiri Welsh and a first round draft pick. During his
three seasons in Boston, LaFrentz earned $28 million while averaging just 8.9
points and 5.5 rebounds.

4. The 2001 Draft

With three first round picks, Chris Wallace selects Joe Johnson, Kedrick
Brown and Joe Forte. While Johnson became a star, Brown and Forte turned out
to be gigantic busts. Wallace passed on Tony Parker, Gerald Wallace, Brendan
Haywood, Troy Murphy and Richard Jefferson.


 3. Kevin Garnett's Knee Injury - Feb 2009


Hopes of repeating as champs faded as Kevin Garnett injured his right knee in
a game against the Jazz. The mystery surrounding the extent of the injury
further complicated the situation. KG made a brief return during the regular
season, but he was unable to suit up in the playoffs. The Celtics were ousted
from the conference semis by the Orlando Magic.


2. The 18-game losing streak - Jan/Feb 2007

The lowest point of an embarrassing 24-win season. When the Celtics beat the
Bucks on February 15, 2007 to snap the franchise record losing streak, the
home crowd gave them a standing ovation.

 1. Paul Pierce Gets Stabbed - Sept 2000



On September 25, 2000, Pierce was stabbed 11 times in the face, neck, and
back and had a bottle smashed over his head while at a Boston nightclub.
Amazingly, he returned to play all 82-games that season. If Pierce doesn't
survive that attack, who knows what would have happened to the franchise this
decade.

Baker真是浪費了自已的身手.全能時期看他打球真的很賞心悅目
Joe.Johnson有機會回來就太好了
