The Celtics sit at a respectable, somewhat underwhelming, 10-7 to start the season. That's good for a tie for 4th in the Eastern conference with Charlotte, and 4 games behind the conference leading, and defending champion, Cleveland Cavaliers. Although some, myself included, would point to the fact that Boston has only played 4 games with a full lineup of their core players as a major contributing factor for the slowish start. Even if the C's look much better at full strength than not, they aren't hanging banner 18 with this team as it's constructed now. Danny Ainge knows this, and is still on the hunt for the deal(s) that are going to put this team over the top.
