How would you react if we get the #1 pick and draft Tatum or Jackson instead of Fultz or Ball (to complete our roster and go all-in for a title run)?

I was walking off the court next to him, and I guess I was a little too excited, because without even really thinking about it, I start patting Isaiah on the top of his head. I give him a few good, hard pats — just to, I don’t know, let him know that I’m real proud of him. It was just a reflex … like how you pat a kid on the head.
Isaiah stopped smiling.
Shi*t. Not good.
I already knew what I’d done. I’d crossed a line.
He looked up at me and said: “Don’t ever do that again.”
He was very calm about it. Then he nodded. I nodded. And that was it.
And that’s how I know this year’s team is different. That’s how I know this team is ready.

Three seasons ago, Brad Stevens led Boston to a 25-57 record in his first season on the job. The C’s won 40 games the following season and got swept out of the playoffs by the Cavaliers. They won 48 games last season, losing to the Atlanta Hawks in the postseason in six games.
This year’s 53 wins and first-place Atlantic Division finish represent more real improvement, and carry with them increased expectations. But putting the expectations aside, it’s impossible to say the Celtics aren’t better off than they were last year, or the year before.
What constitutes a successful season for the Celtics?

Let me guess those shills scalabrine Maxwell and Blakeley got the C's
Smart gotta make shotsThey were sagging off him like they use to do rondo.
Smart is not the only one bricking shots, tho. Olynyk was supposed to space their floor, but no. He's fukking useless. He doesn't provide anything else. At least Smart always bust his ass off and defends.
Horford got the rebounds but struggled to hit his shots.
Crowder is supposed to be tough, but so far he haven't showed it in any playoff series.

Oh well.
Be an overachieving team and nothing else brehs.
Probably Heihachi spinning kick my TV because that such a Danny Ainge thing to do.
This series against the Bulls shows we are not as good as our record. Brad Stevens even said so himself. We essentially luck up into the number #1 seed.
Danny Ainge should getting fried for two stepping that win-now vs win-later line.
Looking to the draft now. Season is over.
Wouldn't mind trading down if we can't get a stud (which is seeming unlikely).
