Alright, it's officially starting to look like the massacre I was afraid we were going to get in this series.
Hooray, we made the playoffs guys.
This is always what happens when a team with a below .500 record makes the playoffs. Always a massacre. Happened in 2004. The games weren't even watchable.
Fwiw, I was fine with making the playoffs. 9th pick vs 16th pick probably will not matter.
37-45 Atlanta Hawks 2008 say hi
Tp. Forgot they were that bad.
Yup. The Hawks had a lot of talent on that team, though, it just hadn't matured yet. That's how they were able to hang with the Celts.
I agree that the 9th pick vs the 16th pick probably won't make a big difference.
But this Celts team doesn't just need to add a couple more quality role players. They need a few real talents.
I don't wish that the Celtics had tanked this season. But they really need the kind of talent you get from top 5 picks, and I don't see how they're going to get it anytime soon.
