Celtics beat the Lakers

More important than beating the Lakers, is the Celtics went 3-1 on their recent roadtrip. Now that's an improvement and a milestone.

It's rather depressing when you think about the Celtics. While their young talent is exciting to think about, I'm not sure they will be enough in the coming years to improve this team. Since the Celtics continually finish near the top middle, their chances of drafting a real difference maker is almost nill.

I am not, however, advocating they just throw away this season and drop to the bottom. Not only would that hurt their fan base, it would be pointless. Unless I'm missing something (which is quite possible when it comes to basketball prospects), there's noone out there for the Celtics to go after.
