Hooped Up | December 31, 2007
Can the Boston Celtics make history this season and join the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls as the only teams in NBA history to win 70 games? Phil Jackson, the resident expert on this matter, isn’t certain yet.
Jackson coached that Chicago team to a 72-10 record and the fourth of his six championships with the Bulls. The Celtics
“I don’t want to guess,” Jackson said. “It’s so difficult. They have Detroit in their conference. Teams have injuries, and they wear down. It’s just too hard to say. When we’re in March, we can talk about it.” entered Sunday on pace for a NBA-record 73 victories. Will it happen?

So much depends on the Big 3. I mean its them, and the drop off (Tony Allen, Rondo, Davis, etc) is HUGE. If KG, The Truth go down? ouch. I love the C’s and I’d love nothing more to see them rep The East (cuz I know my Hawks aren’t going to do it!) but those three staying healthy is beyond huge. 4-0 on the west coast swing, can’t sleep on that, but seeing Detroit come in to Beantown and beat them was concerning.

late!
If the C’s can stay healthy they should win 70 easy, but your right. The drop needs to be addressed. I really think teams have to look at adding Webber if they are going to make a deep playoff run. Why not.
I can find the prayer I want. I thank God for this website.n
