i'm sure tom has been eagerly awaiting my next east-hating post, so without further ado, here is my explanation for why the celtics aren't really that good (or rather, why they are over rated):
they just won 10 in a row: POR, LAC, CLE, CHA, ATL, DET, CHI, MEM, PHI, SEA. (and to Boston's credit, most of these were pretty harsh beatings) . but,
right before this winning streak, they dropped 3 in a row: DEN, GSW, PHX
GSW-clearly not the best team, but they match up ok
DEN-they've had some quality wins lately, but nobody is putting them in the finals this year.
PHX-this game was directly after the shaq trade, before they even looked like a team again.
so basically all i'm trying to say is... Celtics? really?

Couldn't agree more. One thing that bugs me is that they have a better defensive FG% than the rockets. which just makes it so I can't say the rockets have the best defense in the league...but i do anyways.
hey now. that's not fair. By that same logic you could make an argument against SAS. back in December they had a stretch of
GS
LAL
DEN
PHO
The only team they beat was denver.
We may have some minor resolution tomorrow night. I think Ray Allen may be out (sprained ankle) but still a decent gauge given how badass the Rockets have been.
