Considering the fact that Detroit and LA will both go into Friday night's game undefeated (there's no way Chicago beats Detroit tomorrow) that's impossible.

I see Chicago winning, then Detroit beating Clippers.

Hee. That's silly.

I'm not sure about the other teams, but the next five games for the Celtics are very winnable.

They may lose a road game in there, but they should go 4-1 if not win all five.

Alex you play lotto as well because that was a good prediction on the game ttyl

Way to go BULLS!!

Yao and Yi

Most watched game... ever.

For a basketball game, yeah. World Cup final is still THE most watched game.

Yi has looked better than I expected so far and might be an interesting fantasy option down the road.

With the win the Celtics are off to their best start in 20 years.

Both Yao and Yi played well, and Rockets won; every Chinese will be happy with that outcome.

espn says 250 million people watched the Rockets/Bucks game.

I find that hard to believe.

lebron played well in the last minute to win

celtics are nasty what else is new

Shit Boston's looking scary... they're like the Pats, every game is a blowout. 'Cept against us.

of those 250 mill viewers, 249m were in China.

Yao vs Yi

Tonight's game was the one I thought they might lose. They won by 11 and that was despite the Celtics being outscored in the 4th - 35-25.

They're still off to their best start in 20 years, but they need one more win to match that '87-'88 Celtics when they won six in a row to start the season. There's a pretty good chance that they might be able to beat that mark.

Mooooooonnnnn... but fuck this year has been hot and cold. Beat NJ and Chicago by 30, lose to Milwaukee by 30, what's the difference who's playing. It also makes any raptors message board a complete mess, people overreacting to each blowout.

I really like how good the defense has been though, big big improvement over last year. Especially Bosh who's stats may be way down but I actually think he's playing as good as he ever has. Unfortunatley if he ends the year with 17/7 or something everyone will consider it a huge drop-off, when it really isn't. He's just concentrating on d and not carrying the load.

Kapono on the other hand... Some worthy use of 6 mil a year.

That Heat/Knicks game must have been a thing of beauty to watch.

Bleh.

Utter failure.

Ah Knicks...never bored with you.



But guess this could actually be a good thing. Not "Oden is out for a year - this could be a blessing in disguise" kind of good thing, but really good thing.

6-0 now. Sportscenter showed a graph detailing what happened to each Celtics team that got off to a great start. I forget what year the team was, but one team went 10-0 (best start ever for a Celtics team) and lost in the Eastern Conference finals. The '87-'88 Celtics went 7-0 and lost to the Lakers in the finals.

Tomorrow's game should be very interesting and very fun to watch. Even though it's game seven on the year I'm expecting the Garden to be the closest thing to a playoff game (not including Wizards game) in quite sometime. The Nets had the night off though while the Celtics played in Indiana so they should be ready to go against them once again. The Celtics should be able to pull it out though because they're simply the better team.

my cuz Chamberlain is at the game tonight hope he sees something good

7-0

Even without Vince Carter, if you hold the Nets to 69 points you're doing something right.

Yeah really great game, the missed shots at the beginning worried me a bit though.
