Celts have 3 winnable games two at home then one on road against Bucks. Meanwhile
Miami gets Orlando San Antonio and Chicago and Chicago gets Orlando Atlanta (both on road) and Miami. Something's gotta give there -- if they we pick up one and two in the loss column we're going to be hard to run down w/ 20 to play.

The Celts have been scoring more points since the Perk trade. If that trend continues the Celts should be able to win those 3 games. -

The Spurs are looking at losing 6 of their next 8 with Parker out. The Spurs have avoided unjuries pretty much all year and a key one has finally bitten them as it usually does. Parker being out will likely cost them homecourt. -

You are crazy, they have lost 10 games all year and you think they will lose 6 out of 8. Memphis, Cleveland, Sacramento, and Detroit are 4 of their next 6. Go bet your house on it. Better yet, bet your internet service. -

If you look at the rest of our schedule you will see we don't play but about 5 good teams and I am counting Atlanta.

Well NJ is now pretty good w/ Williams , the games at Philly and Milwaukee are always tough.
Say we go 2-1 vs. them. HAVE to go undefeated at home (5-0) vs. mostly bad teams. shaq retruns for 1-2 of those home games and gets his legs under him a bit.
Then come March 18th we go on a lil road trip thru Hou-NO and the now very scary Knicks... we need Shaq back to Nov-Dec 20 min 10-6 form for those, go 2-1.
Then we have a nice 1 month tune-up for the playoffs...
We don't avoid Parker 3/31, but if he's still gimpy Rondo has to win that game for us.
Then we have ATL, CHI and Miami at home. Philly/Knicks/Cats @ home as playoff teams. Wiz loom twice as a letdown game back to back on road after Miami.
I'd see us really having to finish the year 19-5, if we lose more than ONE BS back to back or road game vs. a lotto club we could be the 3 seed
62-20, gotta get to that to guarantee the 1 seed -

Miami has a REAL hard March, I see them finishing the year 17-5, and that puts them 60-22
Chicago is the club that scares me the most, but will they really finish better than 20-4?
I think thats what they do... which is SCORCHING... But puts them @ 61-21...right behind us...
There you have it
Celts 62-20
Bulls 61-21
Heat-60-22 -

whats scary is 59-60 wins could drop us to the 3 seed, unless we sweep Mia/Chi on the road...
last year 50 wins got us the 4 seed... the 4th and 5th seeds will both have over 50 wins.. the Knicks as the 6th seed could have 47-49 -

If the Bulls beat us April 7th than a 3-way tie lands us the 2 seed and Miami the 3 and vaults the Bulls to #1... THAT would be wild -

I agree with you. The recent injury to Parker will most likely result in some losses for this team. Especially against good competition. Not sure if it will cost them homecourt, but it could.
