The idea that any loss can be good, but especially one to your heated rival is in most cases an anathema. However, I think last nights loss to the Lakers is a good thing in the long run for the Celtics. Especially down the stretch the fact that we have less depth this year without James Posey or P.J. Brown was highlighted. Hopefully it is a wake up call to Danny Ainge to try to get one or 2 complimentary pieces before the deadline.
