False, 0-5 and we could potentially not be in the playoffs anymore.

Last time we played the Grizz they had Gasol but no Conley. They won by 3 and David Lee played in his final game as a Celtic. I'm looking at that as a W to start

Not a lot of separation in the east .  Things always have the possibly of going down hill.   Pacers proved that past few years with irratic win s and losses streak s.

But wait! We might be able to beat the Raptors in Toronto!

But yeah, I predicted 1-4...sigh. That one win was against a team full of injuries.

The Celtics are a team full of injuries.

I agree we have no excuse and need to find a way, but to be fair these are tough games.

Indiana has had us in every matchup so far (they seem to be our Kryptonite) and the Thunder and Raptors are top 5 teams.  That's a really tough 3 games to go into without one of your bets players. 

If we went 0-3 in those games WITH all our players I wouldn't hang my head in shame, so doing so with key guys out is not desirable but is understandable.

After Toronto we get a few relatively easy games with Philly, Orlando and Phoenix. These are must wins.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

"No excuses". seriously, before the season everyone was praising our depth.

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

This.

I don't think we will lose 4 in a row, though.  I think we'll snap the streak tomorrow, and there's no reason why that win doesn't dictate the rest of our season.  We might lose to TOR, GS, or LAC, but the other 10 teams are pretty soft (aside from ATL, I guess).

I still think we have a good chance of 50 wins.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale
