the Celts have had that look of a generic NBA team since the trade - lost identity, lost chemistry, lost commitment to defense first and most of all, a lost feeling of a team on a mission to get back what was taken from them in that horrible 4th quarter in los angeles last june.
this team had a desperate need to win the title back this year because of the pain they endured together all summer. THAT intangible was our biggest edge over all the other contenders and Danny traded it away two weeks ago.
