A Silver Lining

I am not quite as sure about rooting for one of my teams to fail for the greater good as is Sportsguy, and I loathe some of his neologisms, like "fantanking," but Thunderstick sent me a little tidbit that made me smile. The last three teams that lost fifteen straight in a season ended up with Dwight Howard, Lebron and Yao. The Celtics just lost their team-nadir fifteenth straight last night. When we sleep, perchance to dream, Celtics fans have thoughts of Greg Oden or Kevin Durant dancing through our heads. But memories of 1997 and losing Tim Duncan turn the dream into a nightmare.
