All I ask is that you be honest with yourself and not reactionary because of tonight's loss, though I understand that will be difficult, but let's be realistic

Here's the schedule

Fri, Mar 12    Indiana    
Sun, Mar 14    @ Cleveland    
Mon, Mar 15    Detroit    
Wed, Mar 17    NY Knicks    
Fri, Mar 19    @ Houston    
Sat, Mar 20    @ Dallas    
Mon, Mar 22    @ Utah    
Wed, Mar 24    Denver    
Fri, Mar 26    Sacramento    
Sun, Mar 28    San Antonio    
Wed, Mar 31      Oklahoma City
Fri, Apr 2    Houston    
Sun, Apr 4    Cleveland    
Tue, Apr 6    @ NY Knicks    
Wed, Apr 7    @ Toronto    
Fri, Apr 9    Washington    
Sat, Apr 10    @ Milwaukee    
Tue, Apr 13    @ Chicago    
Wed, Apr 14    Milwaukee

That leaves a strength of schedule for all 19 games(counting teams we play twice as two separate opponents) of 0.516 which is a pretty decently high strength of schedule

All teams colored in red above are in the playoffs or in hunt for a playoff spot

13 of 19 games will have opponents that are either going to be playoff teams or are fighting for a playoff berth

The optimist in me say they go 12-7

The realist says 7-12

I could also envision a full out gelling to 15-4 as well as a complete fold of 4-15

Right now, looking at the schedule, as much as I want to hope for the best all I see is....gulp....8 wins

I say 16 more wins, for a final 19 record of 16-3.

The funny thing is that this Same Team won 19 in a row just last year...with a Bench that was no where near as deep as it is now...

I'm thinking that they will get it together to finish off the season and win 13 or 14 games. I think that they will continue to get better and figure it out and we will see a much better Celtics team as the games wind down.

I say 6 games and no more than that. This team is completely fried.

Giving one for helping me out with my error

Thanks

And then that makes it 13 game out of 19 that the C's have to play playoff bound teams or team vying for a playoff spot

The part of this schedule that will determine how far this team can go this year is the 9 game stretch from March 19th at Houston to April 4th at home with Cleveland

9 games in 17 days

A three game roadie to Texas and Utah followed by 6 at home in a brutal stretch

6 games with teams that are all in the top 11 in the league record wise

Come out of that stretch at 7-2 and anything is possible this year

Come out at 2-7, time for golf

The way this team is playing, every game will be difficult.

I voted for 19. 

I keep telling myself, they're going to turn it around the next game.  I've been saying that for a while now, but the next game they'll turn it around.
