When does the streak end?

[fairweatherfan]

That's the question - we've got a 14 game winning streak going on, and the way we're playing there's no telling when it'll end.  When do you think we're most likely to lose next?

My pick is none of the above - if Utah was fully healthy I would probably pick them as they match up well against us, but as the league stands, I don't see which of these 5 teams will take us down.

I think atlanta is the only team with a chance of those 5. they play us so well sometimes that its tough to not be intimidated when you see them on the schedule. however it is the NBA and any team can beat any other team on any given night. i don't believe we are so godlike that we will win 19 straight, we will prob fall sometime in those 5 games for sure. def, wouldn't be the end of the world. celtics are awesome to watch consistently, i don't get so mad about losses.

Something just tells me @ Atlanta.

I will go on record as saying that we will not lose until after we play the Lakers. We are already gearing up and everyone on this team knows the importance of every single game and that the home court advantage is a must have to win a title this year. The emergence of both Rajon and Kendrick has made this team very near unbeatable and its like Paul said last night that when those two are playing well the C's are unbeatable. I know other teams are capable of playing better but just don't think they will before Christmas.

Of course there is the off chance any of those teams could crack out a win vs. the Cs because that's just how the league works, but I don't think any of them have much more than a punchers chance.

Here's what's funny though.. while posting this I kept trying to think of teams I legitimately believe would have at least a 33% chance to beat the Cs any given night.  I can only think of one (Cavaliers).  Even the other top ranked teams just don't seem to match up right.

Seems like the most likely, but I really would hate to see them lose there (not just because of the streak).  The Atlanta fans were too [dang] happy about beating the Celts last year in the playoffs.  Let em sit on their hands and admire a Celtics whoopin' on the birdies.

Kinda silly to think we can predict something like this. I picked the longest streak option because I'm not going to go on record predicting any losses. But don't forget we've had games where we have needed last second 3's and overtime to win.

Anything can happen in an individual game. Look at the difficulties we had with Charlotte last year.

Um ... why isn't "Next season" an option? 

Go C's!!!!

12/26 against Golden State I think - post-Lakers game letdown.

These threads are like a giant jinx.  I remember the thread from the start of the season "when will we lose our first game" and I think this thread was after we were 1-0 or 2-0 then we lost the third game.

[RebusRankin]

Utah or Atlanta.

I'll be at that game, so let's hope not!

[xmuscularghandix]

i think we pass the bulls for the best record ever.

We will lose next year? I say not until the big 3 are all retired and even then it will be a fluke

Our defense does not matchup well against Utah's offense. That's the game that scares me most.
