Is this current Celtic squad (08-11) better than the Bird/Parrish teams?

Just by the number of championships, they don't compare at all. Plus, the league is more diluted now talent wise due to the six teams added between the final Bird/Parrish championship and the first and only 08-11 Celtics championship.

I'm studying for a test, but you have got to be kidding me.

Well, after being fouled hard by Parrish, Garnett would make that mean "tough" face he makes, and then Parrish would clothesline him, knocking him out of the game (Parrish would be ejected, of course).
So to compare the two teams, you can hardly count those two players since they would be out of the game two minues in.
Pierce has a habit of getting bumped and then falling and lying on the floor for 18 minutes at a time, pretending to be hurt and really really tough. Being that he would probably just blow by Bird anyway, this would confuse him. He would be forced to shoot a lot of middie jumpers, and he'd go cold. On the rare occasion where Bird did bump him, Pierce would fall to the floor, play dead, and not get the call because Bird never got called for that bullshite.
It all comes down to whether or not McHale can control the boards at this point.

I will take Bird's teams and Russell's teams over this squad. That is pretty impressive when you can say that this may be around the 10th-15th best Celtics team.

No, by the numbers.
But I think they would beat the Celtics teams of the '80s.
