What do you guys think about the Cs this year? How many games we gonna win and who's gonna have the breakout season?
I'd like to see the final roster before I make a prediction, but right now, I'd say we are a .500 team.

It's hard to predict the amount of wins this team will have at this point in time, and who knows maybe before the season starts the Celts will acquire someone who will give the fans a change of heart... But in the meantime, I would say around 42-44 wins. I am also looking for Tony Allen to have a "breakout season." He started to put it together at the end of last season, I think he'll do a good job fighting for some more playing time, as long as he stays healthy!

I don't like Wally much anyway, and personally I think Allen adds a lot more to our game than World, but we still have to put up with his salary, so we might as well get some minutes out of him. I would love to see a lineup of Perk, Al, Paul, Tony, and Delonte. Provided they are all healthy and can somewhat click after some repititions at game speed, it would be fun to watch.
I know it might be a little early for this, but I just put this out there to kill time in the offseason. I don't really hate anybody in the NBA (except for maybe Vince Carter) so it doesn't matter to me that much on who starts. I'm looking really forward to this coming season and I'm gonna say we get around 42 wins this season and I'll say Telfair is going to have an amazing season.
It all depends on how your youngsters perform. If they can put up solid numbers and are consistent with it all year, I can see around 40-42 wins. However, if they struggle with consistency, I'd look for around 34-40 wins.
I don't see this team with a losing record. The sheer athleticism alone is going to win them games. The defense was improving by leaps and bounds with Allen back around too, so I see them performing marginally better than .500.
