This terrible feeling that we Celtics fans have, well, it'll go away.
But it's going to take some time.
Losing in Game 7 of the NBA Finals just downright stings, especially when you blow a lead, can't rebound, can't hit a clutch shot and eventually lose to the hated Lakers.
Watching the Lakers celebrate, there's not much worse than that. That, and all those arrogant L.A. movie stars and pretenders thinking they are bigger than the show on the floor. Really, no need to wear sunglasses indoors.
It just makes me sick.
Well, expect there to be a lot of change in the offseason. The team we saw on the floor in the Finals, well, you won't see that team ever again.
You might see Ray Allen go, or Paul Pierce, or both. Who knows. Man, Ray Allen just couldn't hit a shot. I can't remember the last time -- probably never -- I wished that he wouldn't shoot the ball. He just couldn't find his range. I'm starting to think more and more about letting him walk.
Anyway, although the Celtics sure did put on a show -- how many out there actually gave this team a chance to even make the Finals? -- they failed to bring home the ultimate prize.
It pains me to say this, but the Lakers have a dynasty brewing while the Celtics are watching their franchise quickly fade away due to age. It's time for some new young blood, but at what cost?
And after listening to coach Doc Rivers' press conference, I'm banking that he's not returning to the bench.
So change is on the way, for sure.
And sometimes change is good. Sometimes it's bad. But in the Celtics' case, change is needed.
