It's true - I've checked the math, and under no other circumstances will our season end unsuccessfully.  Let's hope it doesn't come to that, though.

But until then, what say we sit back and enjoy the ride?  Got a pretty nice team going, last I heard  :)

Im not sure about that. I dont like our chances.

Perkins was the best player on the Celtics. We cant win without him and we traded him.

Mike Bibby is a stud, he can carry teams to wins.

Troy Murphy is a premiere big man, his skills are unrivaled. Heat are getting both of the above.

Keith Bogans is the best defensive wing player in the league.
It will be impossible for us to get by the Bulls.

We cant beat the Lakers without Nate Robinson, he is the best energy guy off the bench and can easily put up 40+ point games like he has done for us all season. Were going to miss his efficient shooting.

Shaq and JO are both going to retire within the next few weeks and obviously will never play in a game for us again.

Chris Johnson is an extremely good player, he is long, athletic, and we need him to play at the all-star level we known he can play at if were going to win.

LeBron James is the most clutch player in the history of the NBA. He has hit more game winners then any other active player.
He never fails to deliver when the game is on the line.

The sky is blue.

Personally, I threw the towel in when we failed to retain Scalabrine. You're a little late to the party

What about a 25 game losing streak?

No, you fool. It's only true if you lose game 1 of the series.

You think 8 other teams in the East will be over .500?  I said I did the math  ;)


EDIT:  Wow, did have to fix a different glaring loophole though.

Unfortunately, you are correct! I don't know how we can accomplish this...Chris Johnson, to the rescue?

TP's for both, you made me laugh.

Hopefully by friday all (or most) the bought-out will have a home, and we all focus on how our team is playing. Even if we end with Eddie Curry, I'm sure we'll be in the Finals again.

Personally I hope Mark Blount returns, we need his production to get out of this "no win situation" and quick. No one could rebound and score quite like the former Pitt Panther

Unfortunately...Johnson is a little to light in the pants to help the Celts in the 2nd season. If we can't haul in Murphy?...then all our eggs are in the O'Neal's basket.

  Plus you have to lose them one game at a time. It's true.

Let me get this straight...we're supposed to just let things play out as they naturally will?

You're crazy man!

We also have been losing every game that we get outscored.  We are remarkably consistent in that regard.

Also, since we've lost 15 games, we can't have an undefeated season.

That really bums me out
