I think the Celtics will win 70 games

[bigboydan]

I guess Boston got even better with age. This team I feel could actually win 70 games.

They will not win 70 games. Once they start playing elite west conference teams on the road the losses will start piling up.

Fiction. The Cavs and Celtics are the class of the league. They will mop the floor with teams like the Jazz, Hornets, Rockets, etc.

Lakers will get beat down as well. Bynum has not made the step that I thought he would. Gasol is putting a damper on his progression.

Who are the elite western teams?

[roasthawg]

I could easily see it. It takes a very, very veteran team to do something like that and obviously that's the celt's. I'd say if they stay relatively healthy they probably do.

[pavyracer]

Who are the elite western teams?

They will lose to Lakers, Blazers, Rockets, Spurs and Suns on the road.

They may lose some games, but those teams are not elite teams.

[Doc JS]

Really hard to win 70...They're an old team...They're just one injury to one of the big three away from not coming close to 70...I would bet against them winning 70...

That's what I use to think last year, but they did very well on those road trips.

The only team on this list is the Lakers Mr.Pavy. In fact the only other west coast team that could even possibly beat them on their home court is the Jazz, and that's a real stretch.

QFT.... and I'm a lakers fan myself....

[willpies]

Magic or cavs could beat them on a good day. but go boston!

[jjgold]

They sure have a shot barring injuries

[Godzilla]

They will lose to Lakers, Blazers, Rockets, Spurs and Suns on the road.

[Wilforth]

They will lose to Lakers, Blazers, Rockets, Spurs and Suns on the road.

Which Lakers? Which Suns?

[pavyracer]

I saw the Celtics against Hawks. They are the luckiest team in the world. They beat us on a last minute shot and a missed FT twice. When the playoffs start the mighty Hawks will kick them out this year. Their luck will run out in the playoffs and their age will take a toll. Pierce, Garnett and Allen will look like grandmas when the Hawks give them a whipping.

[accuscoresucks]

i have cashed betting against them so far

say they do win 70+ games i do not see those lines having much value

[Mudcat]

Great team but they ain't winning no 70.

[Tsoprano]

They will lose to Lakers, Blazers, Rockets, Spurs and Suns on the road.

Last season they had no problem beating down every team you just mentioned EVERY time they played them, whether at home or on the road. I don't see them doing worse this year when it comes to cleaning up the Western Conference.

I did not know that Warriors was an elite team.

0-2 on west conference trip so far.

I'm not one to want the Celtics to break my Bulls record, but the 95-96 bulls lost 2 in a row also. If I'm correct I think it was to a sorry Nuggets squad and a medicore Suns team. Let's give these guys a chance a see what they do. They certainly have the talent.

[AC1318]

out of 51 games left they need 43 thats not gonna happen.

Exactly.

[pavyracer]

The bubble is burst. Celtics will not win 70 games and they may not win 60 at all.

[AC1318]

they will win win 60

[NBA Hero]

60 very possible, almost a sure thing.

70, dont think so. they dont execute very well on offense, they rely on pierce to get the calls. and what happens their treys wont go in. options are limited, no post move for KG, penetration for ray allen.

the players got to old to fast.

bulls is still the champs

[y2kls1a4]

I thought so too before the LAL/GS debacle

[Tsoprano]

They will win 70+.

[Casperwaits]

T, I am with you one this one. They will win 70. Lest we forget, the Bulls lost two in a row on their way to the record.

[pavyracer]

They will lose to Lakers, Blazers, Rockets, Spurs and Suns on the road.

[SexyMit]

Ever since BBD posted this thread they have lost 3 out of 5 I think. Talk bout a JINX

[NBA Hero]

no way. winning on your pick shouldnt cloud your judgement.

very good team but difficult record to achieve
