The Boston Celtics are having a wonderful season, third in the Eastern Conference with only about a month remaining in the regular season, one of the true surprise teams in the NBA along with perhaps the Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers.

They've done it with an unheralded group of what's mostly considered role players, accepting shared responsibility, working hard and guided by a bright, young coach.

All the Celtics need now is for Kevin McHale to get a general manager's job, preferably with the Atlanta Hawks or Oklahoma City Thunder.
