Celtics have been playing good basketball the last 4 games. This was a really tough stretch -- tons of traveling, no rest between Western Conference opponents. Good to see the players really band together and look to win.
I don't really care about the draft. I mean, it's important, but it's secondary. Ainge's goal is to get 1-2 max players to sign this summer. If players have competing offers for the max, it's a lot easier to sell a playoff team with a young core looking for some stars to take it to the next level. And the young kids need to learn to win sometime. When was the last time the C's had a winning record on a 6-game West Coast trip? 2010?
Still think it's more likely than not that we miss the playoffs, but winning is never bad (except maybe the last few games of the year if you're already eliminated. Then you tank!)
