Biggest Test For C's? March 17-22 

Post#1 » by EvadedHavoc » Sat Mar 1, 2008 2:49 pm

March 17th - At San Antonio

March 18th - At Houston

March 20th - At Dallas

March 22nd - At New Orleans


This in my opinion is going to be the most important batch of games the Celtics are going to play before the play-offs. The C's are going to face 4 Strong Play-Off Contending Teams on there turf.


Im guessing by then we should have Sam and PJ ready to play and have the Roster were going to play in the play-offs (Hopefully no injuries).

Anyone else hyped for this road-trip?

I don't think it is that important. Those are going to be tough games for sure, but no more important than any other IMO. The important thing is this team is playing well going into the playoffs and everyone is healthy. This team has proved they are an elite team.

Celtics will get a lot of heat if they lose any of those games, and the haters will be out in full force. Not realizing those games don't matter too much and we wouldn't have to play all 4 of those teams in the Finals if we make it, and if any of them even make it themselves.

They matter, but it's not the "biggest test" for them. The biggest test is how this team performs in the playoffs. As far as I'm concerned, we've proven ourselves in the regular season already. They've beaten elite teams, some without KG, and have a 43-12 record. Now it's time to stay healthy, and head for the playoffs.

Plus I really don't think the C's concern themselves so much with the 'haters,' (easily the most obnoxious and overused word on this board). If anything adversity seems to fuel them.

I think it depends on how many we win. If we can win all four it will be a big deal as would losing all four. Any other combination probably won't be all that meaningful.

Biggest regular season test, no doubt.

It will be fun. I'm hoping for 2-2. 3-1 would be outstanding. 4-0 would be unreal.

If we sweep the road trip that would be frikkin sweet. But if we did the haters will go with the "Try that in the playoffs where it really counts!" Excuse.

I just hope we can win in San Antonio. It's been what, 10 years since we've won there?

Realistically, I think we can go 3-1 or 2-2. The game that worries me the most is the Hornets game. Something about Chris Paul scares me more than any other player on those teams.

We won there last year, but before that, it was 1990.

i agree that this will be the toughest regular season stretch for us heading to the playoffs coz i'm pretty sure they'll be battling hard for playoff positioning by this time.
