bold prediction:
C's  end up with a bottom 5 record only to have 2 teams leapfrog them in the draft lottery thereby sending the pro-tanking crowd into an apoplectic fit.

Here's my list -

James Young will get some playing time towards the end of the year and give us one 20 point night.

Marcus Smart will expand his game and take more mid range shots off the dribble.

Jeff Green will get traded for a future first or two second rounders.

Brandon Bass will be let go for no return so he can find a better situation.

Kelly Olynyk will average 18 a game during the second half of the season.

Phil Pressey will dunk the ball

Brad Stevens will continue clapping and being happy during a 15 game losing streak.

Danny Ainge will get his top 3 pick.

Can he take Bass with him?

Which means the Celtics end up with pick #3 and thus miss out on the franchise talent as those guys are taken 1-2.  Where have I seen this before?  Thinks back to Duncan draft...

Prediction - Celtics end up a bottom 5 team, but get screwed by lotto balls again.  End up with pick #6 and just miss out on Okafor and Towns.  Jeff Green, Brandon Bass, and Crash all get moved by the trade deadline as they are the only ones with decent trade value.  Marcus Smart takes over as the de facto 'leader' of the team by the end of the season.

Quite possibly the boldest prediction.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

Honestly, if at #3 we miss out on Okafor and Towns but get Mudiay, then I still consider that a really good get. A Mudiay/Smart backcourt has scary potential.
