If the Celtics lose game 7 or get swept/win 1 game in the ECF...

Eh, if the Bulls stayed healthy both these teams would be fishing already, i think regardless of what happens danny should have a plan...are you saying he should bring them back if they get to the finals? 

The arguments there since this core would be the Eastern Conference Champions. Though I really think Ray Allen needs to retire regardless of what happens, I guarantee that some reports gonna come out whenever this team loses in the playoffs that he did some awful damage to the ankle by playing on it and the surgery will be career ending.

Is there a difference really between getting swept in the next series or losing in 6?

I don't expect Danny will build next year's roster with the idea that they can win it all. We need a perfect storm to have a chance this season and next season makes our tried and true formula a year older.

I am hoping to see us look for more offense from Bradley to continue his development as a shooter/scorer. I also want to see JJJ get some minutes, even if a vet would have a better chance of  getting us more wins or helping more in the playoffs. My main satisfaction with this season is Bradley's development, not this playoff run. Sure, a trip to the finals would trump that, even if we get whooped by the Western Conference team, but I have not holding my breath for that.
