I think 10-4 is too optimistic for the homestretch. If we do well in the beginning of April we'll rest toward the end and if we start struggling into April then we'll probably consign ourselves to the 7th seed (NY looks terrible lately).

I think we'll win all of the games we're on national TV :) that makes us 8-6 going into playoffs. I'd be gleeful if we went .500 in this stretch. 71% of our games are against playoff teams and 43% are against the top 8 teams in the league (most still contending for seeding).

4/4 Spurs L
4/5 Bulls W
4/7 Pacers L
4/8 76ers W
4/10 Heat L
4/11 Hawks W
4/13 Raptors W
4/14 Nets L
4/15 Bobcats W
4/17 Knicks W
4/18 Magic W
4/20 Hawks L
4/24 Heat L
4/26 Bucks L

I would be thrilled if they went 10-4 to finish the season. I think 8-6 is more likely though. This is a really grueling stretch. C's gonna need as many bodies as they can.

According to NBA.Com the Pacers are 3rd and the Magic are 5th. Not too sure though

The pacers are the third seed right now. I say we stay in the fourth seed.

My heart is absolutely with you on this, but my brain is saying Marcus13 may be spot on. TP to you and Marcus.
“Being a Celtic is, every decision you make is about the team. Every cut you make is about the team. Every pass you make is about the team. You take yourself out of it. It’s not for everyone. If you don’t want to win, don’t want to play team basketball, and it’s more about you then you’re probably not a Celtic." Doc 2010

Man ... If you told me we'd play over .500 for April I'd have been happy, but our recent play has me increasingly optimistic.

If you people who predict us to go 10-4 are right, we would probably end up the 3 seed which is madness considering how this season began.

We need to split (or better) this first set of back to backs ... that's going to set the tone. 

If anyone is friends with Popovich tell him that Parker, Duncan, and Ginobilli looked really tired during the shoot around today and should probably take a night off.

I already talked to Pop.  He's not handing out any "DND-OLDs" for tonight's game.

It's all the better as far as I'm concerned.

O.K., admittedly that was purely a heart prediction. I'll take 7 and 7, considering our schedule, but with the way we've been playing lately, I have a hard time buying Marcus' prediction that we'll lose our next five games.

I think 8-6 sounds about right.
