I'm about ready to start accepting the fact that this team has a snowballs chance in hell of even getting too/making it out of the first round. That being said they still brought us years of success and I look forward to seeing what we look like in 2-3 years.

I agree a first round exit seems very likely for this team.  But hey, we'll play it out and hope for the best

That may be true, but I wouldn't draw too many conclusions when we're playing without our two best big men.

But yes, unless we can play our way up to at least a 6th seed, we're probably losing in the 1st round.

It's not just that they'll lose in the first round -- it's that, at this rate, it will be utterly embarrassing.  Again, I point at the 08-09 Detroit Pistons. 

I'd rather Danny make any move he can to blow up this team and have them tank for the rest of the regular season rather than watch them fizzle out like that Pistons squad did.  They don't deserve to end like that.


As far as games without our best players are concerned, I think the fact that the team isn't putting in enough of an effort to not get blown out by one of the worst teams in the league is indicative of a more pervasive and insidious problem than simply a lack of talent.

For this season , yes we are cooked .  We'll be lucky to make the playoffs.

There is going to be ALOT suffering as Celtic fan over the next 24 months i predict.

We'd have to sink pretty low to not make the playoffs.  There's a very low bar set in the East.

That said, I think I'd be more relieved if we missed the playoffs than if we made them.

If we make the playoffs, we only have a first round sweep to look forward to.

If they miss the playoffs, we can look forward to the lottery.

As for next season, I'm hoping the team will be filled with young guys eager to learn and prove themselves, so it'll be exciting at least in the sense that we'll want to see what our young players can become.  Plus, there will be a high draft pick to hope for.
