No, they aren't. They just got no heart and are poorly coached but they would whoop the Lakers in their current state ass. They are far superior team and talent wise to the Lakers. That team is built to win but they don't have the players to overcome adversity. That said, they are too superior to the Lakers and Ham ain't much different than Joe so it would be light work for the Celtics.
This ain't surprising, the Lakers aren't suppose to even be here. They are here and that's amazing. Now it's time to really build a contender that can win it all. They should have never got rid of Caruso, Green, or KCP.
