How many games will the Celtics win this season

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "sunsfan1357":</div><div class="quote_post">I may be mistaken, but none of the Eastern teams this past year won 50 games. What makes people so sure the Celts will when they have made only minor adjustments to what they have?

*edit* I just checked and only the Pistons won 50 games.</div>
were not sure but theres good reason to believe so. pierce and walker both had off years. the celtics didnt have a good point guard and next year theyll have a more experiecned JR Bremer and maybe even marcus bamnnks wont be garbage.

maybe i shoulda said the low end of 45-55

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "Dr. Funk":</div><div class="quote_post">40-45 games I think.</div>

i agree. the magic woulda won the atlantic if kidd left.

 

no way. the magic finished 4th place. the sixers or celtics would win the div if kidd left

Most likely yes....both sixers and celtics have better over teams...and good leaders

 

I think they could win about 48 games this season

76ers only have ai, celtics only have pp and toine, magic have tmac, and a couple other players that could take the load off of tmac's back(gooden, giricek, darell) i will never be able to convince allnet that the magic are good until the magic have a higher seed than the pistons this season.

 

well he makes a good point sportsrock. If Tmacs supporting cast is soooooooooo damn good they wouldnt of finished behin the celtics and sixers. what makes you think they finished behind the celtics and sixers just because the nets had jason kidd? did the magic play 12 games against the nets? no, but they did lose almost all their games against the celtics. tmac is great but dont ovverate gooden and giricek. the celtics and sixers aretstill better. saying the celtics only have pierce and walker is like saying the lakers only have shaq and kobe, you maybe right but it doestn really help your arguement if youre trying to put them down

Magic are a good team..but not better than the celtics or the sixers...whenever boston and philly are down in games their leaders pierce,walker and AI for philly get them pumped up...and ready to go..but mcgrady doesn't seem to do that

 

he does. he just cant do it himself

 

I don't often see mcgrady trying to pump up his players in games....i guess he needs another leader besides him but i doubt that will happen as FA's seem like they don't want to go to Orlando...

 

well we were 26-29 when we made the gooden trade and we ended up 2 games above .500, so adding 2 rookies, making them learn a new system and giving up a fan fav, we went 5 games above .500. (without tmac playing in the last 2, both losses) which makes me believe that a summer and giricek and gooden getting used to the system, that we will be better. we always seem to have the 6ers number, while the celtics always have our number. i'm sorry if i have too much optimism on my team, but it's good to have confidence that your team will improve til next season. so i'm biased, but i think that the magic will be in 2nd place in the atlantic at the end of next year. .

 

perhaps. antoine is a great leader in the timeouts. many believe that it was his profanity laced tyrade that helpped spurn the greatest 4th quarter comeback in NBA history

I don't like the way tonie plays but he is a good motivator...

 

maybe youd like him better as a coach

 

I actually think he could make a good coach...

 

........ who will coach the pistons

 

i do too. he wants to coach after he retires. maybe hell coach the pistons to their next xhampionship

 

a little late olskool, lol.

 

I couldn't stand him to have anything to do with the detroit franchise...
