There it is, folks. No more statements. No more must-wins (although you could make an argument for April?€™s game in Washington). No more questions about who this team can and cannot compete with. The Celtics have officially beaten every team in the NBA this season, and are one of only 2 teams to have done so (the other is Utah).
I'll go through our biggest defeats of each team <u>Atlanta: 106-83</u> Charlotte: 108-100 <u>Chicago: 116-93</u> Cleveland: 80-70 Dallas: 96-90 <u>Denver: 119-93</u> Detroit: 90-78 <u>Golden State: 105-82 </u> <u>Houston: 94-74 </u> Indiana: 101-86 <u>LA Clippers: 104-76 </u> LA Lakers(pre-Gasol): 107-94 <u>Memphis: 119-89 </u> <u>Miami: 117-87 </u> Minnesota: 88-86 <u>New Jersey: 91-69 </u> <u>New York: 104-59 </u> <u>New Orleans(last night): 112-92 </u> Orlando: 103-91 <u>Philadelphia: 116-89 </u> <u>Phoenix: 117-97 </u> Portland: 112-102 <u>Sacramento: 89-69 </u> San Antonio: 98-90 <u>Seattle: 111-82 </u> <u>Toronto: 112-84</u> Utah: 104-98 <u>Washington: 103-83</u> Games in bold are wins by 10+ Games in <u>bold and underlined</u> are wins by 20+ Games in italics are wins by less than 10

How'd they only beat Minnesota by 2? That is a pretty impressive feat, even more so by how most. The only teams that I'm afraid of facing in the finals is Utah and SA. Any one else agree?

Let's work on Detroit first, and if we get past them, I think any Finals matchup goes 6 or 7 games.

I don't particularly like Boston (even though I like some of the Celtics). Congratulations on all your big wins, I thought you guys would be second seed behind Chicago. Figured you'd win mid 50s, not early to mid 60s. You guys have had a great season. Anyhoo. I don't think Detroit is your biggest worry. I have a big feeling LeBron is going to beat you guys in round 2. That is the series you guys gotta watch out for. I just think LeBron is going to take over and get the Cavs back to the finals, where they'll lose. That's all though.
That's god damn impressive. I didn't realize you defeated every single team in the league, and had that many big wins.

We've proven we can compete with each and every team in the league. We know we are capable of beating anybody. Whatever happens happens. I don't have a preference.
Boston's earning my respect, and since Toronto is on and off, i think ill go for Bean town is the playoffs
