This was truly a great year. It was the greatest turnaround in NBA history. It's still hard to believe it happened. Last year the Celts had only 24 wins and were the bottom of the barrel. Then of course the lottery bug hit again and instead of picking #1 or even #2, the Celtics were stuck with the #5 overall pick. All seemed lost...
And then Ainge made two trades that changed the entire complexion of the team. First adding Ray Allen for the #5, then swinging a blockbuster trader for KG. And it all PAID OFF! Absolutely fantastic. Miraculous even.
Anyways, I am just ecstatic as a fan of a team that had been pretty much going nowhere fast for so long. What a fantastic turnaround. Congratulations Celtics, you are the world champions and you have brought back pride and hope to the city of Boston!
