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.
