anyone want to starts bets...whos gonna lose first the Pats, Celts or Sox???...and yes the sox are in the equation because they might be the first to lose a game if both the celts and pats dont lose a game until next years mlb season starts</p>
I hate to rain on your parade, guys, but we really haven't played any good teams yet. 8-0 is great, but I want to see how the Celtics stack up against the other Finals contenders before I bring out the Jordan Bulls comparisons.</p>

Yea Thrilla, thats a big test tomorrow. (orlando)</p> But I understand what you're saying, unless we beat Spurs, Mavs, Suns, teams like that, I don't think we have to beat all of them, but if we do even better, but until we do that, our record will mean nothing.</p> But....its still fun comparing how we'll do versus MJ's Bulls. </p>

I don't think there is a Celtics fan out there that though or knew or predicted that we would be 8-0 at the start. Someone might have said it but only as a joke. We all thought that they'd have a problem gelling and also getting the chemistry out. Then there were questions about the bench.</p> They have surprised us all. </p>

One loss and you're not as good as the Bulls. They're going to have to go 8-1 for their next 9, just to stay on pace for 72.</p> </p>
