So much depends on the Big 3. I mean

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.

If the C's can stay healthy they should win

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.
