That road trip, is going to be tough. Top that off with games against Orlando and Cleveland at home. Should be fun, and frustrating at the same time. After February we will be able to have a clear picture on where this team can actually go.

After February? Unfortunately we are starting to get a clear picture as to where this team can actually go now.

Here is what we know so far:

They can only beat up on weaker teams. (for the most part)

They continue to cough up huge leads and blow games in the second half because they do not have the stamina to finish teams off.

This team will probably be 7-11 since they beat the Magic because I do not see how the hell they can win tomorrow.

This team is not good enough to beat the Cavs.

If they play the Hawks in the Playoffs they will get swept or lose 4-1. That is not even debatable. If you think it is then you have not been watching this team this year.

I have been watching this team since the 80's and this is just a mirror image of the 1991 roster. Look at the similarities:

1991: Three aging starts (Bird McHale and Parrish) and some decent young players (Lewis, Dee Brown, Kevin Gamble. Brian Shaw) Poor bench

2010 Three aging stars (Garnett, PP and Allen) some decent young players (Rondo, Perk, Davis, and Daniels) Poor bench.

What we have is a 50-55 win team that may get out of that first round but that will be as far as they go. Hell if this teams drops to 5th (which is very possible) they could end up playing the Hawks in the first round.

And we have to wait until the end of February and the end of a brutal road trip to see where this team stands? I am not sure how many more blown second half leads, how many losses to bottom feeders and how many losses to the upper teams before people start to see where this team stands.

LOL. "May" get out of the first round. Yea, I'm sure a team like the Raptors is going to beat us..

And the Bulls just handled a very similar road trip. I can't think of a better way for our team to get going than a 5-1 road trip and a win in la la land.

May is right. Who is to say the celtics don't end up with the hawks in the first round? Hell they could play the bulls again and they could have a hard time with them. It is almost getting to to the point where we can no longer look at the schedule and say "Yeah, that is a win."

they won't be playing Atlanta in the first round. Perhaps the second

Well at least we play one of those teams twice so we'll at worst go 2-10.
