Since everyone is up in arms over tonight's defeat, maybe this will help ease some of the devastation

Remaining Schedules

Boston:  @ATL, OKC, CHA, ATL, NJ, MIA, @CLE, @PHI, WSH

Orlando:  MIL, @MIA, TOR, CLE, @ATL, @HOU, MEM, NY, @NJ, @MIL,  CHA

At least, on paper, in this man's opinion I think we still have an excellent chance at grabbing the 2 seed.  There's some tough games ahead for Orlando and I do love the fact that we only have 3 road games remaining.

I see the C's going 6-3 in these last 9 games with losses at Atlanta, At Cleveland and at home against Miami.

Call me nuts but as KG gets healthier and back into more normal minutes, I could see this team sweeping the remaining games on the schedule. Take Moore's minutes tonight and give them to KG and this game isn't even close. If KG is still very limited come Friday night(less than 20 minutes) and the C's win the game, they could easily sweep. The Cleveland game might mean absolutely nothing to Cleveland other than tying the home win loss record and Brown might rest people if the Celtics break it open early.

I think this game only meant most to Orlando because the C's already stated they wanted to be healthy. After seeing Rondo going down I think Doc has to be more careful with the starters. I know it's tough with the bench we have so #3 seed doesn't sound so bad. It's better then getting more injuries because of the games coming up.

Rondo got hurt in this game?! What happened?! Is he going to be OK?

Nobody is really thinking about #1 or #2 or #3, they are focused about playing better basketball, we still have to get around Cavs without HCA so the Magic would be a good practise. I don't know about you guys, but I'm not worryed at all

I think the C's are still the favourite for the second seed.

It's certainly there to be won, but I expect Boston to win it.

The only thinkg I'm worried about is KG being able to get to 100%. If he's not we don't win another title.

If he is healthy I think we win another title over anyone no matter where we play.

Another ankle when CrybabyMan landed on it as RR was falling backwards.

if they somehow make it through houston unscathed,,,we are in trouble,,,but that run of tor, cle, atl and hou...should at least be one loss if not more

It's looking real tight down the stretch.  For some reason, Charlotte always gives us fits so I'm definitely not sleeping on them Wednesday night.  5 out of 7 games remaining at home is nice.   

EDIT:  That being said, I still think Orlando loses 2 of those remaining games.

I'm sticking with my prediction of a clean sweep of the last nine. The Cleveland game is going to mean a lot to this team to prove that HCA means nothing to them if they meet again this year. By then Cleveland should wrap up HCA throughout the playoffs and Brown might rest people if the Celtics can have a strong first half. No one else on the schedule scares me and I think over the last 3-4 games Rivers will work the rust off of Garnett and set up the playoff rotations.
