The Celtics aren't my team
The argument that they've had a soft schedule to start the season -- 6 of their first 8 wins are against playoff teams from last season. The point is thatMOST teams in the league can't compete with them and the teams that can, they only play twice. Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, Phoenix....even if they lostall of those games, that's 8 losses. I'll just go ahead and call it. 2007/2008 Boston Celtics 70-12.

well if they keep playing at this pace (going 8-0 or w/e) they'll go undefeated this season
wait till they play the spurs, mavs, suns, and rox.

The funny thing is, some of you are acting like those teams are unbeatable or a guaranteed loss for the Celtics when the reality is that those are theonly teams on the Celtics' level.....and that's my whole point.Originally Posted by tmac360

65-68 W's sounds more doable for this C's team.

I dont see the Suns being that big of a problem. The Mavs and the Spurs will be the big test.
I dont know how many of you watched the Nets game from Wednesday, but none of the Big 3 put up more than 20, and we still won by 20. If I was a fan of anyother team, that would scare me.

we'll see but I predict the Suns will give the most problem (watch for 20+ points win).

^Not that impressive. What's the height differential? And what's that...a 4 dunking on a (natural) 2? I'd be impressed if it were the other wayaround.

I say 65 - 67 wins.
But why are you guys saying 70 wins is a dumb prediction? They're 8-0 right now. As of now there's no reason to believe it's impossible becausethey haven't lost.
Plus they only play the good teams (the West's elite) twice each team. Even if they lose them all that's only 8 games. But yes, I agree that Ican't wait to see them play those teams in order to measure how good they really are.

--They blew out the heat by +1 also...
--I give the Celtics 62 wins. Tops. No way they are reaching 70. Let alone 72.

With the East looking both stronger and weaker than ever and the Celtics eating the league so far without breaking a sweat, do they have a real chance to at least tie the record the old Bulls set at 72 wins? What about breaking the record?

I think we actually match up well with Phoenix. They don't scare me. They love the pick and roll with Amare and Nash and we have the best pick and rolldefender the league has ever seen. The 70 win talk is way, way too premature, though. I also hate when people bring up the idea that one of the big three aregoing to get injured. That's just dumb. The Bulls wouldn't have won 72 if Scottie or Michael went down.
Pierce is hurting so tomorrow in Orlando will be a test for this team. Orlando's looking good thus far, but how in the world are they going to cover Rayand Paul?

I want to see if the Celtics can keep this up around February and March without a bench and other teams in the league hitting full stride. The Celtics shouldwin 55 games.

Ah, the annual "can the team with the best record after a handful of games" beat the 72-10 Bulls record thread. NOW it truly feels like a regularseason.

I'm not crowning them or anything but I really didn't understand how anyone underestimated them. Some people on here were saying outlandish things likethey would struggle to make the playoffs or be like an 8 seed. Are you serious?
