the boston celtics
- Thread starter phil
- Start date
^^thats the thing i love the most is the D. i always loved ben wallace and the pistons cause i loved there defense and just to see my favorite team have a good one makes me smile a whole lot watchin them play. the "Big 3" all stepped this year with they defensive skills it seems and cant believe how good they all play together and how unselfish they all are. we stay healthy then SA better watch out
The Celts is tight. 2 of my fav players(Pierce cause i'm from Kansas and Garnett cause dat nigga b ballin) finnaly gettin some wins. I love the Bulls 2 death through thick and thin but they fuckin up right now. The Celts aint gon break the record but against those west teams they can match up wit any of them wit the big three. The Bulls just act like this wit every season at the beginning, I assume they gon turn it around.
The Celtics allowing the fewest points is kind of a misleading stat. Don't Get me wrong, they do play good defense, its just not the "great" defense that everybody seems to think it is. They actually win by outscoring their opponents, not with lockdown D. The reason they allow so few points is because they run a grind it out half court offense (which they are very effective at) that eats up chucks of the clock at a time. This allows fewer opportunities for the opposition to score. This really allows for fewer shot attempts by the opposition when the Celtics get an offensive rebound and use up another 17+ seconds off the clock.
the bulls record was 72-10 in 95-96, thats the all time best
the celtics aint gonna get that but 60 wins isnt out of the question. i was thinkin somewhere around 50 to 55 at the beginning of the season but the team is gelling well.
their schedule isnt that tough though so 60 wins shouldnt be too much of a problem.
next year we can start talking championship run. ill be happy with conference or nba finals this year.

well 3 losses but atleast they to the teams that can beat us and not the ones who shouldnt i guess. and we always keep it close and u know we only have room to get better and play better together. well IMO pistons didnt beat us we beat ourselves and alot of youngins in the game got too emotional and that can fuck up ur game alot.
^^i think we'll be even better come playoffs cause alot of player like davis, house and even rondo will be more matured by then and alot more settled in. and our bench is ridiculous if u ask me so that'll help as well. people comin off the bench is eddie house, big baby davis and james posey. thats pretty sick and they all great key players and i think u need a strong bench to make a playoff push and we do.
Gotta say that I am surprised by the Celtics bench play. I still don't think theyre deep enough to get to the finals though. I think they are going to be a very good regular season team for about 3 years, possibly at one point making the finals but never winning it until they get a couple more solid role players on the bench.
I think that Boston will be alot better once they get about a whole season under their belt and they really learn how to play with each other. Sometime it seems like they get in slumps during games trying to figure out who turn it is to step up. And Rondo need to get his weight up a little and work on his free throws(it dont make no kind of sense for a point guard in the NBA to be shooting around 48% at the foul line).
Another thing I know Pierce is a star and all but I would much rather see Allen try a game winning shot than Pierce ( and when he shoot the shot make sure he run the clock down for the other team wont have a chance for another play).

um ray allen had 2 game winning shit right at the buzzer this year so they do give him big shots so i dunno wat u tryin to say there, i do agree with you with the rondo statement. i think he should be nbenched and play house simply cause house has better d and better shot and when he plays it looks like he has control of the team.
^^^seriosuly phil they just tryin reasons to hate on a dominant team. why? i dont know maybe cuz we doing goos in all sports but c'mon. and yeah jordan missed and made alot of game winners as did pierce, not tryin to compare but no one hates on MJ. and great teams lose to other team that are good and bad, not sayin we great but no one hates on the great teams. but wateva our team is beastin and i cant wait to see what happens in the playoffs.
