Go back a little farther and we're 22-12 since Feb 1st.  This team has been a solidly above-average team for a very sizable chunk of the year.

Go back even further and I think we're 2 games above .500 since trading Rondo.

Go back still further and SEVENTEEN BANNERS BABY!!  8)

careful you don't back off the cliff!
Yup

We are better than people think.
But we can't compete with Cleveland.
I could see us giving Atlanta a run for their money.
But if we beat Cleveland in a playoff series, they should erect a statue of Brad Stevens right after the final game.

There have been many teams that have done similar with underwhelming talent. I am skeptical that it is sustainable with the current cast.

sooner or later, this crowd of fun, hard working, and well coached celtics will turn into pumpkins. but until then we can enjoy the ride.  :)

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.

I think they are already pumpkins. Pumpkins wearing sunglasses. It's going to be very hot in that Cleveland kitchen though, they may get turned into soup.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

We're 18-11 since the All-star Break.  That's the 8th best win percentage in the league.  3rd best in the Eastern Conference behind Cavs (18-7) and Hawks (17-8). 

A few days ago I looked at the player's stats since the All-star break:  http://forums.celticsblog.com/index.php?topic=77426.0

This team has actually been pretty darn solid since roles became defined.   It's been an impressive run.

Just a great job all around by everyone. The icing on the cake by Ainge was adding Thomas. Helluva move

You have to have someone who is willing to take a charge from Lebron.

In 2008 we had 3 who would....Pierce, Perkins, and Big Baby.
