Records? We Don't Care About No Records

It is too early to talk about 73-9. In fact, I just don’t see it happening, almost under any circumstances. We were very fortunate to win a bunch of games last year in March and April when we played our bench.

We could have just as easily have lost several of those.

We went 25-5 against the West last year.

Will that happen again this year?

27-3?

No and no.

We should win in the low to mid sixties. Remember the others Celtics team to start 20-2 only won 59 games.

On the other hand, this team digs records.

It understands that’s part of making your mark in this league.

It’s one of the games they play to get up for games.

26-2 is the best start ever. Let’s go for 27-2.

I’m not buying we don’t care.

I’m just saying they do care, and they knock off the records that are within reach.

They just like to win

As noted elsewhere, this team isn’t gonna dominate for more than a few years. But they are gonna dominate while they can:

I want to see one of the national broadcasters do an entire Celtics game (half-time included) without mentioning that darn winning streak. A day after they do it, they can then boast about their tremendous achievement and speak dismissively about any other broadcaster ever topping their record by doing two such games.

Maybe it’d help if during their half time shows, they would show a little banner hanging from their studio ceiling, immortalizing their monumental record.

Then, if they’re really serious, they can move on to setting records for not showing Glen Davis crying on the bench, or Garnett not banging his head against the padding on the basket goal stand while talking to himself.

is going to need a key mid season signing. Our bench as currently constituted will not get us deep into the playoffs. Our starters will tire and Ray Allen playing 42 minutes is a killer. TAllen is no replacement for Posey and it’s really starting to show.

Who knocks them off in the second round? Detroit? Atlanta? I agree with the need for a bench upgrade but the only team I see in the East who can beat the Celtics is Cleveland and that woukd be an ECF matchup.

The bench could use an upgrade, and Atlanta could knock us off.

Having said that, the chances of us standing pat are 0%.

So the questions then are

Who?

and

When?

Not to re-sign PoZ, everything he brought to us last year he continues bringing to the hornets, except even more so.
Tony Allen is not a replacement for Posey, thats ridicoulous..our bench is terrible

I don’t think Atlanta can beat the Celtics at the Garden. Atlanta is not exactly doing well on the road this year and we know what happened last year…

I actually think he’s got a point. Say the Celts do break or tie the record and win more than 72 games but lose in the playoffs, maybe to the Cavs or Lakers and don’t win another ring with the Big Three. They’d be a great team and I’d remember them for the rest of my life but they would not be in the same discussion as MJ’s Bulls.

Its like the Patriots from last year. I’ll remember that season forever and that team will always have the privilege of being put up in graphics as the only team to go undefeated in a 16 game regular season but I think they lost out on any chance of being the greatest team ever when they lost the Superbowl.

If the celtics did tie or break this record, it would just put more pressure on them in the playoffs, so I’m not even rooting for it to happen, at the end of day the winning the championship is all that matters

lost the Super Bowl because Brady’s foot was hurt more than he let on and Richard Seymour was held for ten seconds on “The Pass” play and no flag was thrown. Go to youtube and watch if you don’t believe me. Like the Pats in the playoffs last year, if any of our starters go down, we will be very vulnerable. The Lakers have two former starters coming off the bench right now. Wake up folks, we should have signed Posey.

The Patriots were overrated? hahaha, thats one of the dumbest comments of all time…How so? there defense wasnt dominant, no.. but overrated? hahaha, that offense was among the greatest of all time, period..and you realize they beat the Giants to go 16-0, and Brady was in fact injured in the Superbowl?
Coming from a probable Browns fan, this is LAUGHABLE

its gonna be hard not showing KG talking to himself, he ain’t right after all

I was here, in Chicago for the 90’s bulls’ runs. This is what this team in doing. they are using the regular season as a long and intense practice session. they are mean and they are trying to prove their dominance every night, all while getting better. It is really fun to see that, of course, nobody in Chicago will even listen to this comparison, their loss, they are missing some great ball right now.
