Seriously, Boston would be what, a #5 seed in the West? A 6 if Utah can keep playing like they're playing?

My post went completely over your head. Ask a Mav fan.

I don't know whats worse, you saying the celtics won't get past the pistons or saying pistons have a deep bench. Pistons bench hasn't been deep since they won the title.

if pistons couldn't beat a one man poor Cavs team they will get destroyed by the celtics in a 7 game series.

Celtics are at worse the 3rd best team in the NBA. the fact they play defense makes them more dangerous.

Re: Will Boston break SA's record for most improved team?

I looked at Boston's schedule to see if they had any great team's to play against.

Looks like they have a cakewalk for quite some time and won't drop a game until possibly December or January?

They've got a pretty sweet deal, if they want to go undefeated for a while.

Most likely. If they had to play teams like the Spurs, Suns, and Mavericks they'd probably have no chance but the east is crappy.

That's not a knock on the Celtics, but I'd like to see them against more powerhouse teams before I make a judgment. Though it is incredibly hard to sustain the level of play that the three of them are doing right now throughout the season and especially in the playoffs.

I also want to see how Boston will fare against the Pistons.

exactly. :oops

I said during the offseason this team will improve much because of KG and Allen. But I just LOL everytime I watch their game they're up 20 even 25 but watching those 3(KG, Allen, Pierce, still on the floor). I don't know if I'm blind or mistaken about this. But that one against the Nuggets, AI was already on the bench but their "big 3" are still playing. :lmao
And the presence of Melo kind of frustrated was a sight to see bec that was how he got tangled in a brawl with NY, if I'm not mistaken :lol

I just can't believe we still have to wait until February to face these guys. I'd like a warm-up. I can't wait.

8-0

IF they do not lose tomorrow at a very good Orlando, they will not lose this month and will more than likely totally obliterate the Spurs' record barring any injuries.

They can break that record. They will feast on the East and hold thier own against alot of West teams.

Boston shot 53% and were a Pierce jumpshot from going to overtime. Ray Allen had a bad game by his standards.

Re: Will Boston break SA's record for most improved team?

The record looks like it is in serious jeopardy. Boston just will not lose, there are too mant dog teams in the NBA this year. Even the West sucks.

Re: Will Boston break SA's record for most improved team?

Maybe I'm missing something but the Spurs had a 35 game turnaround when David came aboard in 89. Thats a lot more than when TD came on.

Given Boston's start to the season, they look poised to make a run at the record. Last year, they won only 24 games, will they win 61 games this year and break SA's record? I think they have a great chance. The competition in the East is really not that good and the West has some dog teams as well, so if Boston plays as well as they potentially can each and every game, the record is right there for the taking.

I hope they don't.

Thoughts?

Damnit, Jim! Your reverse mojo hexes only work on the Spurs...didn't you know that?!!

The Spurs improved 36 games from 97-98 when TD came to SA.

I stand corrected I thought the original post said 24 games. I'm quiting the internet for the rest of the day.

Re: Will Boston break SA's record for most improved team?

Looks like then the record is going to fall....Damn the Celtics, they threw games last year to get this record....Spurs should have beaten Boston both times this year to protect their record that these cheating dogs are ging to steal....the bastards.

Remaining schedule, that they need to win only 5 of.

Re: Will Boston break SA's record for most improved team?

Boston's schedule is a cake walk.

But the east is pitiful. There will be more teams under 500 in the EC playoffs than above. They get an asterisk on this improvement record...

Plus, the improvement record was done bringing in 2 guys, unlike the Spurs record.

Who cares really. Boston can have it if we get the ring.
