... Boston Celtics, Eastern Conference contenders? Two conference officials reached yesterday agreed that the combination of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce would give the Celtics the legitimacy boost they have long missed. As evidenced by Cleveland’s abysmal showing in the NBA Finals, the Eastern Conference should be a wide-open race next year. The Celtics, with Garnett, would be expected to be in that pack. “He’s terrific,” one official said of Garnett. “Wherever he’s traded, he’ll make a natural upgrade.
