I don't know how many Celtics doomsday threads there will be after tonight, but all will work itself out eventually. It really will.....it has to!!

Hold the phone here. They're just coming back down to earth, just as Cleveland and Orlando will. These are all teams that will win a ton of games but the covering machines will cool off.
I'm pretty sure though that all the teams licking their chops to play the C's now won't be so eager come palyoff time.

Just a reality check
During the remarkable start the Celtics had this year they were constantly reminded of how the best teams in history started their seasons. They beat the best Celtics start ever and the Boston media kept reminding them day after day. They were basically given a repeat title before Christmas by a lot of people. BUT... just like so many other things in this world (like betting) eventually everything settles down and comes back to reality. Did we really think they would continue winning 27 out of 29 games this season? Did we really think they would continue to kill teams by 15 and 20 points night after night?
The Celtics are made up of humans just like the rest of the league. The Celts are really good but their bench is inconsistent and they are cocky. I live in Boston and have seen a lot of their games. This is probably the best thing that could happen to them because now they have to wake up and actually start doing the little things again that took them to the championship last year and helped them dominate early this season. When they lose their focus their defense suffers and then the offense just doesn't work right because its rushed. Hopefully Doc Rivers will use this like Phil Jackson would and teach them something about themselves and the game.
I still favor them come playoff time.

Well, I did a 9-team teaser 250 to win 3000. This game was my only lost. Had it been any other team, except OKC, I would have picked +14. You would think Boston could beat the Bobcats by more than 4!!!

Orlando and Cleveland are pretty close, but with the spreads they are giving all 3 teams ... you should be considering the dogs on all their games.
Magic were favored by 12 pts ... won ... but didnt cover ... these teams will not cover those big spreads anymore.
Lakers lost yesterday as well .... they were favs by 7 pts and lost by 11 .... all ¨good¨ teams are on a meltdown.
Fade C´s, Cavs, Magic and Lakers for the next 3 games ... there should be money made!

Cavs are giving 13.5 to the Bobcats tonight. I think I should jump on the Cats now.
