Boston broke the Rockets 22 game win streak and on monday it will be offically 5 years ago to that day...
Raptors were 1 of 9 teams to beat the 96 Bulls on March 24th. Pretty close to Sunday's game against the Raps.

The streak ends when they lose.

Duh? or is the OP asking when we think they will lose?

This has so much stupid in it I don't know why to say.

Not to look past the raps, I'm just glad that we might have an opportunity to break the streak.

Not that it really means a lot since they're really due for a loss and it's just one game in the regular season, it would be nice to put the league on notice and to be the ones to stop the streak of one of our recent competitors.

I hope the Heat stomp the Celtics
Bucks tricked me into being a diehard in 2001, LeBron is the 2nd best player ever, and pizza is awesome.

Celtics players and their fans have been acting cocky lately. Beat down is in order to put them in their place

Tomorrow against the Raps is a real possibility. Not because the Raps are good, though the Raps will get up for it, but because the Heat will probably get plastered tonight in TO and the crowd won't help their hangovers. The old guys will need to make threes- but it's a 12:30 tip, and I sure as hell wouldn't let in Ray Allen at 8:30 or whenever he wants to start his routine, even if the arena is ready so early after they flip it from tonight's hockey game.

I hope it ends soon, so we can get Lebron and company some rest.

I thought @Philly and @Mil were going to be really tough. I'm surprised they've made it through it unscathed. @Toronto is doable, but @Bos? Now we're talking! Get hype!

Lebron's actually averaged 37.5 mpg throughout the win streak, which is a little less than his season average of 38.3.

Wade is at 35.8 which is a little more than his 34.7 that he's averaging this season but relatively low compared to his career average of 37mpg.

and finally Bosh is at 32.5 which is down from his season average of 33.4.

So in actuality, the big three haven't really been overworked throughout this streak physically in terms of playing time, however if you meant being relieved of the burden of keeping up the streak, then I cant agree with you. They should be engaged this late in the season, that way the same focus and intensity they've had can carry into the playoffs seamlessly.

edit: Bosh's minutes are an average of the 19 games he's played during the win streak, he missed 2 games against the Rockets and Clippers

Once HEAT lose I think we might drop a couple in a row, because they'll feel like they have nothing left to play for anymore.

- No streak
- Top seed basically locked up
- No historical relevance in winning anything under 70 games

So most likely just cruise again.

Why? If Boston wins they'll immediately have these grandiose dreams that they'll run through Miami and get to the Finals. It'll be a longer fall for their psyche and it will be oh-so-delicious.

Still never nice to lose to them even though it normally happens more in the regular season.

God no, not Boston. I still hear on an ongoing basis how that .500 team is a NBA title contender because they can beat the Heat (Lord knows how), and then all it takes is one hot series in the Finals. Rolls eyes. If they actually break the streak, my sources will write the Celts down in ink for the Finals.

If they beat Boston tomorrow, I think the 33-game streak could be in serious danger.
Thank you Nico!

It won't unless their coach rests James. 17 games left and the only team that has a small chance is the spurs. The rest of the teams they play range from poor-average.
