The Era of Good Feelings in American history lasted roughly from 1815-25.
A similar era for the Celtics this season began during a double-overtime win against Miami on Jan. 27. It came to a close with a 16-hour period last week that encompassed an embarrassing, 113-99 loss to the Lakers on Wednesday night that wasn’t that close and the NBA trade deadline the next afternoon.
When the Celts failed to find a dance partner and make an impact deal, their frustrated followers had to rework their list of things that need to go right for this season to be a success. That list now stretches from here to the playoffs.
Even with Rajon Rondo, Jared Sullinger and Leandro Barbosa in the lineup, the Celtics knew they were going to need to catch a few breaks along the way to make a serious postseason run.![]()
