The next 10 games will obliterate our lottery chances.

I don't mind winning against the bucks, but I do wish the sixers and the magic won against us. I would be happy with leading after 3 and losing in the 4th.

While I understand losing to good teams and winning against bad teams might be frustrating to those that want the Celtics to lose as much as possible to secure a better chance at a high lottery pick, but when do those that become frustrated by this come to the realization that good teams beat bad teams and the reason Boston is beating these bad teams is because they are simply a better team than those teams.

Or in other words, Boston is beating the Orlandos, Saccramentos, Philadelphias and Milwaukees of the NBA because they are supposed to beat them. They are a better overall team than those teams. Not by much, but they are better.

So if I were you guys I would just be happy with the fact that the C's will probably just be the 6th-8th worse team at the end of the year and be happy that teams in that area seem to end up in the top 3 almost every year. So there's still a great shot we end up with a top three pick.
