I like the effort, but it was too light on analysis. While the Eastern Conference is much improved, the combined record in the east is 152 wins versus 159 losses, 7 games under .500. The Western Conference boasts a 161wins and 154 losses, 7 games up. The west has 9 teams at or above .500, the east a mere 5. The West is still clearly better than the east at this point in the season. Orlando has had success against the west, though against the elite teams they didn't manage a win (San Antonio and Phoenix). Against pedestrian or bad teams in the west they dominated (Seattle, Minnesota, Golden State, Lakers......). I agree that the Celtics have exceeded expectations, but they have only played 6 teams with winning records to date. I expected Chicago, New Jersey and Miami to be better and in the cases of Chicago and Miami I expected them to be much better. Looking at the first 20 games I thought 15W 5L was reasonable but maybe too lofty. At worst Boston will be 17W 3L after 20 games which is great, but after a closer look at the teams they actually played versus how we expected their opposition to play it's hardly unexpected.

Good stuff, Q! Got a question for you...want me to make a banner for your blog and maybe help with the layout? I also want to link to it as a special feature from Loy's Place. What do you think? Yes I do Loy...... I just don't have time do decorate "the office" much less than work in it. My job that pays my way to Celtics games is consuming all my time and butting into the second most important time of all ........... time with the Brother and Sister Celtics Bloggers and watching those games. I did see the second half - was a bit surprised to find us trailing at the half. The Celtics worked hard at the defensive end and Baby has got a big big role with the team. Didn't we get him with the Ray Allen deal or was that our pick all along. Whatever, I think Danny found another 2nd round gem. |
