The Boston Celtics surprised the basketball world with a playoff run that defied their regular season shortcomings. They cooled the Heat, freed LeBron James and humanized Superman.
Boston gave us one of the best finals in recent years when they took the Lakers to 7 games. Missed chances and misfortune left them unable to become champs.
Now they face an offseason filled with questions. Coach Doc Rivers may step down to spend more time with his family. Ray Allen is a free agent who may draw lucrative offers from loaded teams missing a shooter. Bench players Tony Allen & Nate Robinson are free agents as well and may also receive offers greater than the Celtics are willing to spend.
General manager Danny Ainge has a lot to solve this summer. And let's not forget that human cigar Brian Scalabrine is also a free agent. Scalabrine eased his pain after game 7 drinking in an LA bar and shared his mood with us via this phone call. So he's already gone clubbin'. Here's to the rest of the Celtics enjoying good times at the club this offseason.
