Blah, I missed 3 (selected Riley) and 8 (selected 20). I can't imagine anyone knowing off the top of their head how many times we've beaten the Celts without just throwing a wild guess out there.

6/8
missed the Bruin question and the Celtics question

7/8, missed the coach one. the celtics one was a semi guess though. 30 wins would mean a winning record against the celtics, and that just didn't seem possible so i took the next one.
