Hello. This is the begging of a series of weekly blogs about basketball. i will talk about specific teams and sometimes players. Maybe even award races even. In today's issue, I will talk about the Boston Celtics. Just so you know, I will accept requests on any NBA Topic if you fanmail me. Please leave a comment

Okay, first off, I would like to say that I hate them. Secondly, I would like to say that they are slumping and that WILL have an affect on the rest of the season.

Why?

Because the teams they don't look like a team while losing to Washington twice and Charlotte once, in a combined 6.1 ppg less than there opponey in those games. Against teams with a combined record 8 games below .500! And they only beat a New Jersey team below .500 by 9.

But you're asking: how does this affect the rest of the season? Here's how: The Celtics schedule is based soley on teams with bad records like these, and against team 3 games or less above .500, they've lost 4 of their 6 games. Against basically the only other contender in the East, the Pistons, they've lost 1 of the 2 games they played.

Okay, my bottom line: the Celtics will not end the season with near as good a record as many people think.

 

 Let me hear you're thoughts in the comments.

No offense, but the fact that you state that you hate them makes me think this a biased blog.

Exactly. The Celtics can't control how bad the rest of the East is...

Just remember its an 82 game season you can't expect to be perfect every single night

The Celts will be fine.

Oh, and your spelling and grammar are terrible.

I was in a rush. Sorry. I'll do better next time.

It's not biased.

You're exactly right. The Celts aren't going to break the Bulls' record for wins. But so what? If they end up winning around 60 games, it doesn't make them any less of a threat to come out of the East - whether you hate 'em or not. It's still a great story for a franchise that desperately needs one.
