  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
It's great to see them winning, but these aren't .500 teams we are beating here.  They stink.

Here's a list of the 17th picks in recent draft years...
I suppose adding any of these guys would be suffice for most?

2012   Tyler Zeller   
2011   Iman Shumpert   
2009   Jrue Holiday - 1 time All star
2008   Roy Hibbert - 2 time All star, 1 time All NBA defensive team   
2005   Danny Granger- 1 time All star
2004   Josh Smith   - 1 time All NBA Defensive team   
1996   Jermaine O'Neal   - 6 time All star
1995   Bob Sura   
1994   Aaron McKie   
1992   Doug Christie   
1989   Shawn Kemp - 6 time All star
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

They've been fun to watch as of late.

However, much of this success has been fool's gold.   This team doesn't flat out blow but they are nowhere near a serious threat as a 7-8 seed, either.

I don't understand why this is "fool's gold."  They are winning basketball games. That is real.  It's fun. That's what I want.

Why do Boston fans have to pretend like they know better?

Do you "pretend" to know better too?

The winning is great.  But, at the same time, I'm trying to keep things in perspective too.  They're not beating the heavyweights of the NBA.   Scheduling makes a difference.  It was apparent going into the 2nd half of the season that the Celtics had one of the easier schedules remaining based on SoS.   

Now if they knock off Golden State tomorrow or Cleveland later in the week, then I might looking at things a little differently.

This is a fun bunch.  Lots of likable characters on this team.  That being said, I also have tempered expectations this season.
