Celtics are carried somehow by Evan Turner and Isaiah Thomas.
I could have sworn Utah was a better passing team than that... ugh well, I concide I'm an idiot here.
Still think Utah would have made it in the East, though.

Whoever draft the next big thing or get Another Davis or some shit in the off season gonna win first.
So I don't know who gonna win first because to know is some psychic shit
In the mean time, both teams got a LOT of work to do. But the Celtics already better with more cap space they gotta head start

I'm excited to see a cavs/celtics matchup with Crowder marking Lebron.

Look at a team that plays similar to Boston out West in Utah (post trade). No doubt they would be where the Celtics are and Quin Snyder would be getting the same praise Stevens is getting.
Still, they did a good job down the stretch and getting into the playoffs. Hope they have a good run.
The Celtics had a bottom 5-7 record for a large chunk of the season but to turn around and have a top 10 record for half the season is impressive. I don't disagree with the context of you are discussing in terms of them playing in the Atlantic Division and East in general but the Celtics really don't have much control over that and were just able to beat who were place in front of them more so than earlier in the season.
Addressing the tanking situation, the Celtics are fortunate that they can still get favorable draft positioning without tanking because of all the picks they own. Whether that is packing picks for a targeted player or getting lucky with their upcoming Nets picks.

What's the Lakers' path to the ring? There is no reason to believe they'll be contending in the immediate future. Most teams take years to get from the bottom of the league to the top.

Not sure how much that matters anymore. Got them nothing with max space last year. Players today aren't so concerned with playing for a particular team and those Cali taxes are a MFer. (Yes, I know tax is also high here in Boston)

Players care more about winning than money.
Look at how stacked the Cavs got all of a sudden once Lebron joined and Pau joining the Bulls.
That's why the Lakers are f*cked.
