At 29 and 31 years of age, Pierce and Garnett are moving past their primes. Neither will perform above the highest level he has achieved so far. Garnett will drop off first, as early as next year, as late as two years from now; and Pierce will be two years behind him.
This Celtics team does look good on paper, but it hasn't achieved anything yet. Breaking the .500 barrier would be an astounding improvement.
