How weird would it be for both the Lakers and the Celtics to miss the playoffs? They are two old teams whose time has passed. Neither has a shot at winning anything without trades.

The Celtics announced Sunday that guard Rajon Rondo has torn the ACL in his right knee and will undergo season-ending surgery. ESPN on ABC was the first to report the extent of the injury.
Some random troll wrote:Not to sound negative, but this team is owned by an arrogant cheapskate, managed by a moron and coached by an idiot. Recipe for disaster.

Yes, so at the very least we have to win 38 games total, or go 27-12 from here on out. Not impossible.

Above are my predictions. I have us losing to the elite teams LAC, MIA, OKC, SAS, NYK, except for the last week game against the Heat where I assume they will be resting their big 3. This gives us a record of 30 - 9 from here on out, finishing with 41 wins total. I think I have been very conservative in my estimates as I don't have them upsetting any elite team like we did against MIA and OKC already.
As stated before they only need to win 27 games, not 30. Call me crazy but an 8th seed is looking more and more plausible.

Without Rondo Boston has no chance IMO.

I would put the Sixer in there. If they can mix Bynum in well, they will be better then Cleveland.

Yeah. You gotta consider Philadelphia to be the favorites for the 8th seed right now, with Detroit and Boston also in the mix. I don't think Cleveland has a chance.
The loss of Rondo is huge. We are 9 games behind the Celtics. We are only 6.5 games behind the next best team, Philadelphia; and we play them in two nights.
If Philly loses to Memphis Monday and we beat the Kings; and then we beat Philadelphia on Wednesday, they will 18-27 and we will be 13-31. That's just a 4-game difference in the loss column with 38 games to go.
