It certainly doesn't appear that way. What is it now. Rondo, Garnett, Pierce, the O'Neals, Perkins? That is an awful lot of injured players. They are good enough to give anyone fits even with injury problems, but that is a lot of injuries. I would say the prognosis doesn't look great.

I realize there is more then half the season to go. And there will be injuries along the way. When its your starters going down. The prognosis is bad.

Yep 4 of their starters from last season have/are still battling some injury. Only Allen has been untouched as of yet. Not something I would be excited to have staring me in the face.

Pierce is fine , KG will be back soon , rondo is back...i think we will be ok

definitely

Nope!

We got about 40 more games to go but even though I am a Heat fan, I think the Celts are the team to beat.

Miami is scary and getting better, but, the Celts are deep and should be fine.

Their age is what I think will matter if they are not energized enough down the stretch.

It will be an amazing Eastern Conf Playoff race for sure when you think about Boston, Miami, Orlando, Chicago and Atlanta...toss in the Knicks rumbling here and there and who knows, maybe New Jersey pulls that trade off and makes a run....

Nope. All the injuries they have now maybe a red flag with half the season to be played. The Celtics attempt to have home-court advantage in the playoffs, may cause some players to return to soon from the injured list. Also, the schedule isn't user-friendly down the stretch. The last 20 games, 13 are on the road and 7 of those are against playoff bound teams. Nope, don't think so!
