And then Danny Ainge donned a white lab coat, stuck an antenna to the ceiling of TD Garden, whipped out Wyc Grousbeck’s checkbook and made himself the FrankenCeltics monster. Brought back from the dead, half alive, half dead, stitched together with loose parts and molting tissue, a beast capable of destroying the countryside or stumbling off a cliff. Make no mistake, Ainge has created a monster, and there’s little way to tell how the Celtics will fit into the NBA landscape next season.
...
It’s going to be scary good at times, and an abject mess at others. More of the former than the latter.

The writer vacillates his point too much, but it was overall a good read.

Completely agree. Some of the commenters on the article say the same thing.

I agree with the writer's overall sentiment though: this season could go either way.

That's how our team has been for the last four years.

Good point, but I think our acquisitions make us a lot closer to the "good way," rather than the "bad way." I have a hard time seeing this team not make the playoffs (knock on wood).
