Go Celtics!!!  Had we learned how to close out games and not blow leads, we would be a 6th seed right now, easily!!

We should make the 8th seed.

We're better then:

Philly
New York
Milwaukee
Indiana
Charlotte
Detroit
Orlando

We should make the 8th seed.

We're better then:

Philly
New York
Milwaukee
Indiana
Charlotte
Detroit
Orlando

We're most certainly not better than Milwaukee and by the end of the season will not be better than New York, Charlotte, Indiana and possibly Detroit.

edit: Forget what I said about Detroit lol. Unless they make a play for Rondo.

Have you seen the Knicks and Charlotte play lately?

Once Smart recovers, C's will make a push for an 8th seed or maybe even higher.

  According to the hollinger rankings, we've had the 4th hardest schedule and Milwaukee's had the 4th easiest. They might be better than us, but it's probably closer than you think. Also, even leaving out Detroit, the odds on any of those teams being better than us might not be bad but the odds of all of them being better than us, barring major injury, is pretty low.
