After crashing out of the playoffs on Sunday and losing 101-82 to the Magic, the Celtics have gone home, are refreshed and ready to prepare for next season.

After you crash and burn, guess there isnt anything else to do but go home and say you are pumped to get ready for the next season, right?

'crash and burn' ?

cant say i agree with that ..... their best player was out for the entire playoffs and they went to the 7th game of the Conference semis .... not too bad imo

I will go along and say that the score represents a crash & burn but I also must go with Simon and say that when your main player is warming the bench, stuff like this will happen. There's always next year.

My new team is now anyone but the Lakers and Kobe in particular.
