The Celtics end their season tonight. Ravaged with injuries, the Celtics had no chance to make the playoffs. The one silver lining in this lost season is that the young players got alot of experience and we have a 40% chance of getting a top 2 pick in the NBA Draft(with the prizes being Greg Oden and Kevin Durant).
Most Celtics fans are putting hopes in the May 22nd lottery as the chance to bring the team back to contention. However, I can't forget about what happened to the franchise exactly 10 years ago. Wehad had the best chance to land the #1 pick and Mr. Tim Duncan, who was going to be the savior. Never happened. We lost the lottery and Tim Duncan ended up winning 2 championships in San Antonio.
Sometimes things don't work out the way you want it to. The Celtics haven't won a championship since 1986, easily the longest drought in team history.
Is this finally the end of the losing era in Boston?
May 22nd. Pretty big day for me.
