They're more likely to get a playoff spot than a top 3 pick this year.

 

[GloveSave1]

We can't even lose right.

 

[qc]

Boy does this team blow.

 

[MattFromFranklin]

Good loss. Got a little nervous at the end.

 

[MattFromFranklin]

3 wins in a row. What the hell is going on? Ainge needs to start trading some more pieces off. I'll be disappointed if at least 2 of the following are still here after the trade deadline: Bass, Zeller, Turner, Thornton.

Thornton and bass should be gone. The other two salary-wise are actually pretty good value for what they're paid. Wouldn't have a problem keeping them on the roster.

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

I've changed course. I'm rooting for the playoffs at this point. Want to keep Thornton. Would be willing to trade Bass once Olynik is healthy. Would rather trade Prince so Young can stay in the rotation even though he's struggling right now.

same here, tanking doesn't really make sense at this point since there are alot of other teams with worse a worse record than us. I want them to make it.

Blake Griffin out 4-6 weeks for the Clippers with an elbow injury.

Why do we care? Because the Celtics own the Clippers' unprotected 1st round pick as part of the Doc Rivers "trade". Clippers are currently 7th in the Western Conference playoff race.

Yeah, looking at it, I guess that pick could fall anywhere from 13 to 20

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

Through March 1st, if every team with a better record wins each game, Phoenix and New Orleans will both pass the Clippers. And OKC won't be far back.

 

[Ten Thousand Hours]

Haha. What a win.

 

[iReckless]

I don't get how the Celtics win against top teams like this one night and lose the next.

 

[KrejciMVP]

nice comeback and game winner by Turner

 

[ed bruin]

i honestly thinking it is more beneficial we make the playoffs than just barely making the playoffs.

 

[CDJ]

We are now the best team in the East. That's how this works, right? We took out highlander.

 

[Gator Mike]

Multiple reports suggesting that the Celtics are one of the favorites to land Phoenix PG Goran Dragic, who has asked to be traded.

 

[EverettMike]

Gotta be honest, I don't get it. Why would you do that unless you had a guarantee from his agent he'd resign here?

Depends on the cost. If it's one of the likely late 1st round picks, plus expirings, then fine. On the plus side, you've got plenty of picks, and you'd be able to offer him more guaranteed money than anyone this summer.

 

[iReckless]

Reggie Jackson has become available

Reggie Jackson has become available

Another player the Celtics have been linked to, although were I Danny, I'd be linked to pretty much everyone right now.

"According to Paul Palladino at SI.com, Dragic named Boston as a team he would re-sign with this summer. That eliminates some concern that he could "Dwight" the C's like Howard did the Lakers."

oooooh. Nice. Thank you.

 

[Stone Clode]

If you can turn one of those draft picks + one of those expiring contracts into Goran Dragic, AND get him to re-sign? Sign me the hell up. Great backcourt trio of Dragic, Bradley, and Smart. I love the idea.
