Celtics Wire evening trivia – April 18: Boston’s forgettable 1990s

For a franchise as storied as the Boston Celtics, the 1990s weren’t just a setback — they were seasons most of us would rather forget.

For a franchise like the Boston Celtics, the 1990s weren’t just forgettable, they were a stain on the honor of the NBA’s winningest franchise.

Bad luck, bad drafting, bad drafting, management and coaching hires were all on full display throughout the worst decade of Celtics history, collectively producing the worst basketball in franchise history as a result.

So you’ll be forgiven if this era is a blur — or entirely forgotten — for those of you who were around in this decade. And even more so if you’re too young to recall the seemingly endless morass that was this decade (though there were a few things that made it bearable).

But the decade didn’t last forever — and the quarantine inspiring this evening trivia series won’t either. So in the meantime, you can test your knowledge on the latter while we all wait out the former.

We went a little lighter to be easier on our collective memories, but there’s still plenty to work with — enjoy!

1997 NBA re-draft: The way it should have been

The 1997 draft had an all-time great in Tim Duncan, a Hall of Fame swingman in Tracy McGrady and a Finals MVP in Chauncey Billups, but there was not an awful lot after that.
