The Boston Celtics released this video yesterday, thanking their fans for sticking with them throughout the season. I love and hate these videos. I love them because they're usually very thoughtful, yet cheery at the same time. I hate them because it means the season's over, basketball is still being played and none of the teams currently playing are named the Boston...

Garnett waiting on the Celtics
One of the most interesting teams to watch this offseason will be the Boston Celtics. They have to face the decision of bringing back their aging veterans or letting their stars go and starting over. They were within one win of the NBA Finals, so it would be hard to make the argument that the current team they have doesn’t work, but will the wear and tear of another year push them...
