Boston Celtics (17x NBA champions)

A pretty good NBA write up.... Sports frog... Along with some words from Larry Bird.

""Obviously, their chemistry is very good," said Bird, now the Pacers' president of basketball operations. "You don't come out and win five or six in a row if your chemistry is not good. It's good to see, because I always thought that chemistry is a major part of winning basketball games. I know that they have chemistry because I read a lot about them. A lot of teams should take notice. Ball movement, playing together, and having great chemistry will get you a long way in this league."

It's good Danny Ainge is a devout man.

Otherwise the Boston Celtics' architect might be feeling all the angry joy that comes when vengeance is thine.

If Ainge were prone to such feelings, Boston's sixth straight win, a 101-86 walkover in Indiana on Tuesday, was a statement game disguised as an ordinary Tuesday night in November.

In fact, as statement games go, it was the Big 3:

Statement 1: See, Jim, I knew what I was doing.
Just four seasons ago, the Celtics were coached by Jim O'Brien, now the Pacers coach, who had led them to their greatest successes since their 1980s heyday. O'Brien had salvaged the Rick Pitino squad, taking the C's to the 2002 East finals.

And another one... C's link

Man, this is fun!!!! :biggrin:
The Celtics did not stop at six.They returned home and notched Win Number Seven, unraveling the Nets at the Garden, 91-69, on Wednesday. And much like their first encounter Saturday night, the C's played the second game of a back-to-back while the Nets came off a night's rest.

Yeah, and I said they "might" even win their division. The point is that they won't win the East.

Alright, screw it. I'm taking it back. I'm eating the crow. I was wrong. You guys were right.

Not because I believe the Celtics are that good, but because I'm a jinx - by my over-the-top posturing, I ruined the season for every other team in the East, and maybe even the West.

That's ok though, because I'm picking Michigan to win this weekend.
