Can they win by double digits at all vs teams like SA, Dal or Phx if they almost blew a lead to ****ing Miami? I'd surely like to think 2 of the 3 teams anyhow. They need to be tested and Dallas isn't till late january is it. When is Phx?
When is Utah? Detroit, there you go , Detroit. Gotta beat them first.
If they play like they did against the Heat, they'll have a really hard time against the Spurs, as the Spurs are a strong defensive team. The Suns and Mavs they may just be able to outscore, but they still should not play like they did in the fourth quarter against the Heat. They won't win many games against anybody that way, much less any of those three. The Celtics just need to concentrate on the Celtics. They can't blow leads no matter who they're playing. They've done it twice to the Heat and on a smaller scale to the Cavs and the Nets. Sunday's matchup against the Cavs should be interesting.
I strongly diagree with saying Miami is better than Utah. In fact, I'm sure they aren't.
And I have the same questions about the team's capability against contenders, too. We'll just have to see.

P.J. Brown would be better for this team than C-Webb, and plus, Webber has expressed that he'll only play in Detroit if he plays at all, if I'm not mistaken.

You don't win with losers. And there is a significant difference between guys who lose because they're on bad teams (Pierce, KG, Allen) and losers (Webber, Marbury).
Webber is not the same kind of cancer Marbury is. He at least got to the wcf unlike Marbury. And the ecf. Webber can pass for a big man too. Give me him anyday this yr.
He can pass, but these days he's completely ineffective in the post, a mediocre jumpshooter, and a huge defensive liability. Plus all the time the ball's in Webber's hands, it's not in the hands of the four other (better) players on the court at that time. No thanks.

Yep.
Not at all on board for that!
I think the guys just need time to gel.
They'll be fine. It's obvious that all of our defense issues have not gone away, and we deff need to work on that.

Life is an adventure.....Let's GO!!!!!!!!!!
We're 14-2 and have beaten some of the better teams in the league, not the elite of the west but still very good squads.
This team would still be gelling to an extent and yet we are rolling, so by the end of the season and the playoffs they are on the level of the western elites... i think they will dispose of each of them in at least one regular season game
Still question the team
