"You guys ask me these questions about 2008, there's no comparison in
the teams," said captain Paul
Pierce. "You guys want to make them similar, make them different,
make them better. That's a completely different year. New players are
trying to develop our own identity. Whatever happened then, it's not the
same, man. We're trying to develop our own identity by winning a
championship.
"There's definitely similarities in some of the players, but we added new players, and the road is a lot different. You talk about comparisons, it's different. The only way to talk about this is if we win a championship, then you can ask me. Then I'll be able to tell you better."
