So I'm at work right now watching the 1988 Eastern Conference semi-finals, Celtics vs. Hawks, and couldn't help but notice how stacked this 1988 Boston team was. The Celtics had one of the best Power Forward/Center combos in the NBA in Kevin McHale and Robert Parish.

Flash forward to the 2009 Eastern Conference Semi-finals, Boston's starting power forward is now:







Oh how times have changed. We currently have a 6'6'' 300 pounder with a 4 inch vertical leap playing power forward.

And when he is in foul trouble, here is Boston's 2nd option:


















I will now light myself on fire

Considering both of these guys will likely spend time guarding Dwight Howard, the league's best center from both an offensive and defensive standpoint, I don't really like the Celtics chances in this Orlando series.
