Well, on the bright side, most of Boston's losses have come against all the great teams.  Cleveland, Detroit, Houston twice, and Phoenix all come to mind...

Wait a minute, which season is this again?

I said it right after the trade and will say it again, too many new players to integrate in too short a time, loss of toughness, and no real center with the O'Neal's out is what will doom this team.

None of those new players will be playing in the playoffs, so I dont see how that matters.

well i just don't know anymore. i don't feel good if they are a 2 or 3 seed..which is real possibility....boston pretty much has to beat the bulls and heat when they play again..maybe they will actually feel like playing in those games

i expected more from a vet team...they look mentally soft

Both green and krstic will play. And again, this team only has five players that were on last year's team. Midseason trades stink.

Lol at some of you overreacting "fans" ya'll stay salty over every loss. Ya'll seem to forget that in any playoff series if you win either one of the first 2 games in the series you can obtain homecourt advantage but I guess this team cant win on the road huh??
This is a huge fallacy that I hear repeated over and over again. In case you don't remember, we split against the lakers last year. And how did that end?

The huge assumption that fans make is that well automatically make is that we'll win all of our home games. This is a huge assumption.

Danny ainge said it best. When you don't have HCA, you have to go in thinking that you need to win TWO road games. That's what we did against cle and orl and failed to do against la.

don't tell me home court isn't important..it is. they better pray to god they can hold off miami at the least...i don't see them getting past the bulls for home court the way the bulls are playing right now.

Every loss ya'll are crying about "welp hello third seed" and "we need HCA" personally i dont care about HCA as long as we're healthy going into the playoffs IMO we're a better team then last year we're deeper stop panicing over every loss

i have to disagree. Boston would have a tough time having to knock out the heat and the bulls. i just don't see this team doing that

Man the Bulls are Rose or bust I don't see them dominating in the playoffs, and whenever Rondo goes back to playing in early season form the Heat have nobody to check him he dominated those games so I'm not going to admit defeat to either team because IMO we're deeper

to me though...going through orlando and then the bulls or heat is the easiest path..and with home court to boot. this team just has no chemistry anymore. they don't move the ball...they don't get stops when they have to and they just are playing the worst of all the so called contenders...they are regressive at a time when the should be fine tuning...

This is a veteran team who's been there I'm not concerned about games in March I know what this team is capable of  for example the 4th quarter against the knicks a few nights ago I'm confident we can beat any team when healthy

looking at the bulls schedule..i see only 2 potential losses the rest of the way...vs boston and at orlando...boston is going to have to play flawless basketball to overtake them for hCA.
