2nd in the East,
19-6 with its preferred starting 5,
enough salary cap for a max player this summer,
a lock for the best lottery odds this summer,
5 first rounders in the next two years after this summer,
young players whose ceilings have yet to be hit,
one of the top GMs in the business,
and one of the top coaches.

What's not to like?

Lovely, all we need is a playoff run. We look like we are close to ready. We are 10 deep, even if we cut it down to 8, that group still has about 7 shooters and 7 solid defensive players. Lets hope we stay healthy these months, that is often a deciding factor in wining a series. Finaly, there are good 4 teams in the east now. Exciting times.

Big game tonight, we're finally playing for a chance to be tied for the first seed in the East!! The Miami Heat aren't pushovers so tonight's game will be tough but I have faith in this team, a squad that has continued to shock everyone. Can't wait for the game to start... Go Celtics!!! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Few fans in NBA history can soothe their anguish from losing a game to be the #1 seed in their conference in April with the balm of reviewing highlight reels of the top 4 prospects in the draft of which one is guaranteed by owning the #1 best draft odds. Maybe no other fans in NBA history.

The Celtics have won 5 playoffs games in a row (the Cavs 4, or 7 if you count last season) -- hopefully we build on our streak...

There's gonna be a Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals tomorrow, and it's going to be in Boston. How cool is that? We might even win it, which would be even cooler. This season has been so, so, so much fun.

Despite the result tonight, this team checked every single box I had for them this year and then some.

Best record in the East
Made it to the Conference Finals
Didn't get swept by the Cavs
Landed the number one overall pick

Sad we have to go out like this, but man, what a fun ride wasn't it?

Looking forward to next year for what this team can do. Short of a championship, this has been a blast of a season.

See you all soon.
