...my $.01...

Hey im a huge celtics fan but after the last 5yrs i need to see this longterm, Sunday will be a good test at Orlando.
IMO...you be pretty close on target FRITOLAYGUY. If they don't make Pierce a forward, where he should be, their movement/ball-movement in the lane & from side-to-side is/will-be the same as the last 5 years...non-existence.
The way Rivers seems content to play the "Paul Pierce...One-point-victory" type of game over weak teams leading to his Hero-status in the media makes him and the organization a Loser....for another season...imho. ...And some say that a huge salary won't hinder performance... :lol:

10 and 1 after last night's win against the Lakers, which was impressive. The C's got back to passing the ball very well and better team defense. Tonight should be an easy win, but you never know coming on the back end of back to back games.

It's kind of dissappointing that they don't play the likes of Phoenix, Dallas and San Antonio until basically February. I'm looking forward to seeing how the C's stack up against the likes of the best of the west.

Larceny report: The Celtics just stole that game... can't believe that just happened.

YES!!!

I was just about to post how crappy they played and had fallen to 10 and 2. What an improbable finish! Down 2, Bobcats imbounding the ball with 4.7 ticks left on the clock, Celtics steal the inbounds pass quickly get it to Ray Allen for the game winning 3 at the buzzer! sweet

Saw the highlights, sweet indeed a good way to finish off a back to back.

I'm thinking more 60 and 22. I wouldn't have said that a month ago when the trade first happened. I figured 50 wins would be all that could be expected first year until the 'new big three' gelled. I know it's only pre-season, but they are showing a helluva a lot of chemistry for the short time they've been together.

The Celts are gonna be NASTY this year


16 and 2 now :)


Do people still think 60 wins is a stretch? I didn't in the pre-season and I still don't.

24-3

Still truly haven't been tested. They're a legit title contender, but still need to go through some of the West power houses and find a way to beat Detroit before I call them favorites.

28-3

4th best start in NBA history. I was at the game tonight and they kind of cruised through it. Looked like they were saving their energy for tomorrow night's game in Detroit. If they can win that game going away on the back end of two and a row against a HOT Pistons club that has won eleven straight, it will be a BIG statement in my book.

Tony Allen was VERY IMPRESSIVE tonight. Looks like he's finally working his way back from the major knee injury sustained a year ago.

Rookie second round draft pick, Glen 'Big Baby' Davis, puts the Celtics on his back scoring 16 points in the fourth quarter as the Celtics win in Detroit. Following the game, Paul Pierce can be seen taunting the fans in Auburn Hills saying, "That's right, the Celtics are the team to beat"

....and they are

29 and 3

Looking like I'm going to half to up my ante. I had suggested 60+ wins during the pre-season. Barring injuries, this team is a lock for 65 right now. I won't say 70


YET

Well they are playing quite well, even im surprised they have exceded my expectations, and that game in Detroit was huge, should give them alot of confidence knowing they can win there, but Detroit also won in our building. They are undefeated against the west, and have avenged all 3 loses against the Magic, cavs, and pistons with wins against all of them the next time they played them.. Not too shabby.

I am a fan of The Big Ticket, so I like Celtics this season. But other than at the top the East is so bad compared to the West that it is not even funny. The playoffs will be great this year. I mean the Western conference playoffs. :D C's will most likely play a depleted team at the final, otherwise that would also be a great series.

I wouldn't count out Detroit. They basically mailed it in three weeks ago when they realized they couldn't catch the Celtics record wise for home court. Detroit would give any team out West a series as well.

Well turned out to be 66 and Champs. Had their down moments in struggling against the Hawks and Cavs.....but this team was the best in the league for sure this year with a couple of signature moments in the finals. Largest comeback in finals history and biggest blow out in the clinching game.

GO CELTS!!!


With all due respect to the Giants fans..........Boston is the city of Champions!

I was at the game. It was unreal, my hands hurt from high fives and the voice is a little raspy today. I went to game 1 of the Cleveland series, it was a good time, but nothing compared to last night. The energy in the place gave you a body high.
