Anything under 65 wins will shock me

75 wins

Yes, I upped my prediction to 75 wins on a recent post.

My mission is completed. I wanted anyone thinking 45-55 wins to reevaluate. Maybe it will end up as professional wrestling between LeBron and Durant. Or maybe we can win it all. We must be as good as the Dallas team which upset Miami.

We are going to be much better than last year when we were already about the tenth best team or in that tier.

We beat GS last year when it mattered and I think we almost beat them another time.

We have a chance of becoming a bully. If we have 11 very good to great players acting as one, we could get into GS's head. We might be as good as those teams. It's about team. There is no I in team. There is me in team. I guess that is us as fans.

I guess if we add 65 (my green kool-aid prediction) and 48 (from last year) and divide by two, we will win 56 or 57 games.

nope. Cleveland did that. When it mattered, we failed clinch home court and then proceeded to lose in 6 to the Hawks. Thats what we did when it mattered.

We stopped GS's record home winning streak. In the other game, we lost by five points in double overtime. That was without Horford and all the key guys have been improving. The Boston Celtics should be ranked third in the power rankings. I think we are the third best team. We have passed Toronto. San Antonio is without Duncan. The Clippers are getting stale.

Come on. We had bad luck with injuries at the end of the year. If Jae never would've sprained his ankle, missed 9 games, and then played like absolute poo due to the injury when he came back, we would've won enough to take sole possession of 3rd and played either the Heat or Hornets, who we were 5-1 collectively against last year. Even if he did still get the injury, AB's injury ultimately screwed us in the playoffs. We would've taken game 1 and most likely the series if he hadn't got injured. You can't take the team's best shooter and second leading scorer away and not expect it to matter.

Thanks. I was thinking of responding to that point, but it seems rather obvious. We were decimated for injuries in the playoffs. The same thing happened the year before. Isaiah fell on his back and wasn't the same guy. Wade broke Rondo's elbow. It's not easy to overcome those kind of things.

We could've easily beat Atlanta if healthy. Maybe we wouldn't beat Cleveland, but who knows. It's unfortunate because now we'll never know what adding Horford has done. We were a solid team last year for a non-title contender.

It's the improvements of individual players that is driving my optimism. If Olynyk comes back and is better than ever, we are sitting pretty. Even Zeller is looking positive. Marcus Smart and Rozier have improved. Crowder looks like a form of truth. I am one very happy celtic camper.

I'm numb to shock ...
