First of all, we all knew that this window would be short. Making some sort of trade doesn't guarantee that anything will change. However, #17 makes any decline worth it.
Second of all, I'm shocked with all the doom and gloom around here. Am I disappointed? Sure. I was hoping for a 65+ win team this year. However, the season is far from over. In case people forgot, we got off to a blazing hot start the first two months of the season, until we were derailed by INJURIES. It'd be one thing if this team was 100% healthy and we were playing like this, but we've yet to see this team at 100% the entire season.
And you know what, there's no reason to think that most of our injury woes can't be overcome. BBD's hand has healed, Daniels seems to be fine now, Ray's back spasms will subside, and Pierce's injuries aren't permanent. And while KG may never jump like he did two years ago, there's no reason to think he can't get back to where he was two months ago when the Celtics were arguably the best team in the NBA.
This season is very long. Cleveland's hot now and we're about as cold as we can be right now. It doesn't mean that won't change two months from now.
