Do people realize we have won 7 of our last 10?

[celticsclay]

The tone of the board seems to be focusing on how awful we are, IT not being a good enough passer, Smart not developing fast enough, we have the worst big men in the NBA, Jaylen Brown comparisons to other rookies/ need for more minutes.

You would think we were on a 6 game skid looking at this. In reality we have won 7 out of 10 with our only losses being to the Warriors on the road, a close home game to the Spurs and a one point loss to the pelicans when we were missing crowder and Horford. Meanwhile, 6 of these 10 games were on the road and 6 of the 10 games were also against teams that were in the playoffs a year ago. Why is there this sky is falling vibe right now?

I don't get that "sky is falling" vibe from CB.  I've been on CB since 2007 and I know "sky is falling" when I see it.

Have to say, though, that the Spurs game at home was winnable and it was frustrating to watch.  Even so, I think many of us are simply starting the trade talk a bit early because we see how good this team could be with a significant move.

We're a really good 3rd tier team.  We should still win 55+ games.

Celtic fans are whinny, little beaches.

Oh god lets create a new area for tiers nonsense.

Isn't 55+ a second tier team?

Who are the second tier teams?

I think 55+ wins is a high forecast. LB, you going soft? What's with the optimism?

I don't think the Celtics have proven much this season. By and large, they are losing to good teams and beating bad ones.

Frustrating when the refs only call 12 fouls on the Spurs FOR THE ENTIRE GAME.

Do people also not realize the C's are tied for the 3rd best defense over those 10 games with a 98.3 rating and still haven't had a full compliment of players available.

I believe in LB's mind there are 7 tiers and a subworld where the inverse square of Smart's 3 point percentage is multiplied by the won loss record of the Nets when Lopez plays more than 25 minutes but less than 35 alongside Lin all divided by the per 36 of Okafor for stats where Embiid plays just in the first half and Okafor's turnovers are excluded.

If it is a night game we include the shooting average for Dario Saric during an impressive 4 game stretch he had in the second week of November as a fulcrum.

Regardless of outcome of math, nobody likes Brown or Smart more and everyone else thinks they are worse.

I did not realize that personally.

[jpotter33]

With as many injuries and missed games as we've had this season, I'm surprised we are where we are.

I still believe we're firmly the second best team in the East. The stats say we're a "tier 1" team when we're fully healthy, especially healthy with Horford.
