The Boston Celtics were incredibly fortunate to win the NBA title in 2008. They had a pair of trades that gave them the top end talent they required. Their young players blossomed into excellent role players. They required 26 of a possible 28 games to get through the playoffs, allowing lesser teams to drag out playoff series instead of being able to end them quickly. Essentially, for one year, anything that could go their way did. Considering that they were thought to have a window of 2-4 years to win a title beginning with the 2007-2008 season, the future looked promising.
