And 3 of those loses came recently when we were also missing Sabonis.

And its safe to say that lookign at teams schedules 1.Bucks 2.Raptors 3.Sixers is preety much sure thing.
Indy and Boston will be neck to neck and likely 1-2 final games will decide homecourt advantage

safe? at this point Pacers and Sixers are the two that are neck to neck with the Celtics several games back. not saying they won't catch up, but it is hardly a lock that they will.

The Celtics look like something is wrong, seems like Brown has regressed and Tatum hasn't really move forward any. Then there's the sad case of Gordon Hayward. Also Horford is getting old, he's still pretty good but I can see him slowing down.

I wonder if there is a "Kyrie Irving factor" at play there?

I'm not even totally sure what I mean by that, but it seems there are always distractions around him.

Gut instincts? Same issues we had after trading for Evan Turner. Super young guys starting to really look out for their next contracts and not necessarily gelling or playing team ball together.

I think the Celtics made a huge mistake in trading for Irving. Thomas was damaged goods but they could have gotten a better team player and fit by trading Crowder and that Brooklyn #1 that became Collin Sexton, or maybe long term just kept them and let Thomas walk.

Now it will be very difficult in next 10 games... we are going to Millwaukee, Phily, Denver, Portland, Warriors, Thunder, Boston... every win will be like winning the championship... Boston and Phily will pass us... 5th place is reallity...

I agree that Philly is likely to pass us, but we have a good chance to hold 4th ahead of Boston.

Boston beat the Warriors last night but they got a great game out of Hayward which has been the exception this season. Now Kyrie is out again. Like I said there is something wrong in Boston.
