 We haven't even won a single Playoff  game yet, but it's all uphill from here. We actually have are eyes on the third seed and home court advantage in the first round.
 
 We have maybe the best Coach in Basketball. OK Pop is better, but Brad's gonna catch him one day. We may trade for a star soon, and we couldn't be more stacked with Draft picks.

 It's going to be great, it already is really fun. I love the whole process. Just the fact we have a chance at Drafting Ingram or Bender or Brown gives me tingles.

 So Cheers to are favorite Team The Boston Celtics, Danny Ainge, Brad Stevens and Wyc. They are doing a great job and we are going to be battling in the playoffs on a steady incline for years to come.

Nice to see a thread like this. I love the way we've been playing lately, particularly with the hustle on the defensive end. It's nice to see IT as an all-star, Crowder living up to his contract and then some, Avery exploding for 20+ point nights, Marcus hounding players defensively, and Kelly showing some newfound aggressiveness. I don't expect a title this year, but I think we could really make a run to the Eastern Conference Finals. Brad's done a great job with limited talent, and I'm beyond excited for the future filled with cap room and draft picks that will only improve us.

It's definitely an exciting time to be a Celtic fan.  Ever since the Nets lost two of their best players to injuries, it's looked increasingly likely that we'll end up getting a top 10 pick from them. 

A solid playoff participant, A+ front office and coach, an all-star point guard, Smart slowly progressing, some solid role players looking like legit long-term starters (crowder and bradley), some decent signs from a couple other young guys (Olynyk), an increasingly likely top 10 pick, and cap space this Summer make this a very fun time to be following this team. 

If everything goes right, we'll have a 50 win team, make a nice playoff run, draft Ben Simmons, and sign Durant and Horford in free agency.

There is so much to be positive about with this young side. Everybody on the team seems to be enjoying their basketball and the team is producing the sort of game that has people talking. The franchise is perfectly set to make a play for the top shelf additions we need and the draft could be very kind.

For now though I am more than happy to watch this group compete. What will be will be.

Haha! You just can't help yourself. TP

Actually, I know its a small sample but the Wiz have been awful lately. They literally gave the game to Denver today, so many turnovers from handling errors and risky passes late. Now there is talk about Beal, Porter, and Nene moving. John Wall is not quite in the superstar field I don't think. Now that is a depressing team to be dating.

Other teams not to go on a date with tonight:

Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix, Houston, OKC, Miami, Milwaukee.

Probably the most exciting non-contending season in Celtic history.
Watching wins, growth, and Brooklyn losses all at once

But easily the most entertaining off-court player on this team

Nice win streak, our little general is an all star, Marcus is in the Underclassmen game, Kelly's among the league leaders in three point shooting, Brad continues to be a genius.

We are all patting each other on the back as Celtic fans right now.

It makes me a little scared.  Sports fans' psyches are fragile.  Back to back losses to the Magic could make this whole good feelings thing unravel.

Let's go, Celtics!! Keep us happy

It's definitely an exciting time to be a Celtic fan.  Ever since the Nets lost two of their best players to injuries started the season, it's looked increasingly likely that we'll end up getting a top 10 top 3 pick from them.

That's  better. Thought I'd get in there before world war 3 erupts in this mucho positivo thread.

Read that last line again. One more time.

 I forgot to add that Thomas must me the smallest All Star ever in the Celtics right?

 And the injuries to RHJ and especially Jarret Jack were godsends.

Nice edit. The guy can't stand being wrong. Top 10 pick makes it even funnier.
