A look at Celtics, Lakers, Spurs, Pistons easiest 20 game stretches

Great post CCR! It's amazing to me that so many people can discount it, when no one else has done it in 37 years.

Maybe I should send them this post link!

 

Good Thread. I wonder how many B2B's there were for the streaking teams, and their opponents.

Still, Atlanta has a heckuva talented squad. Jersey's trio was rotisserie-like. Bobcats' J-Will and Wallace are capable of 50+ pt nites any nite. And so forth. They're all on the schedule, and they all have to be played.

I cannot be certain, of course, but weren't Finals 'worthy' teams like the Cavs and Cavs and Hornets and Hornets and Mavs, Nugs, and Warriors all played in the last 20 by the locals from the Toy Shop?

Now, for tanking teams...from here thru end of season that's another issue.

 

This is the best thread I've ever seen , great !

 

This a great point. This should be required reading for every national analyst before they call another one of our games, or make their comments in the national media. (especially the Rox/Lakers national telecast on Sunday)

Its funny how you and some other clutchfans have more ability to go and get the facts, think, analyze and reason than most of the "professional" analysts do.

Thanks for your research. This is good ammunition. I will point this out to my friends who are Mavwrecks fans.

 

Great post! It just goes to show how overblown this "Rockets are the worst best team ever" coverage is.

 

very much the greatest post i've read in a long time, good job!

 

Amen brotha! Outstanding post.

Dismissing our streak by strength of schedule is so weak. A little common sense would tell you that every team has easy stretches too, but they still lose some here and there.

But, nothing like cold, hard facts to make the case!

 

Don't you just love facts?

 

i think the overall suckiness of the eastern conference has people underestimating the Celtics. They are better than the Lakers and every other team in the NBA (except for us of course!).

I don't see why people seem to disregard their record, especially against the wester conference, as well as ours(#2 in the west).

 

CCR is our stats Morey guy of the BBS, good research.

 

Someone must be really bored at work.

 

Good job CCR...We have chemistry,new additions,an offense that takes full advantage of our players strong points (which is still developing),and killer team D.The addition of Scola has been key too.

And we have Tracy playing some of the best basketball he's ever played (not physically,but using his noggin,being a team player,and stepping up when we need him)The guy's moving much better out there too.

I have a really good feeling we're going to win the whole enchilada assuming Carl comes back.....and it sounds like he will.

 

Don't underestimate Lakers and Spurs. Lakers will be even better when Bynum is back in the lineup. The Spurs haven't really over use the full potential of their starting lineup just yet. They are resting and saving it for the PO which matter the most.

Spurs and probably Detroit are the 2 teams that are probably bore to death during the regular season games and can't wait to get going in the PO. These guys already been winners so they probably less motivated then the rest of the league.

We have 5 tough games coming up and that can probably throw us out of the PO standing again or last place.

 

Would be good if you can see if any of the "stars" on the team were out because of an injury. I'm sure the nay-sayers would bring that up... <star> was out in those loses But it's a good stat and show just how difficult long winning streaks can be in the NBA.

 

:raises hand: I just got here 30 mins ago

 

Nicely done. During the course of this streak, it's become painfully obvious to me that most sports writers and commentators don't do their homework, choosing instead to simply parrot what the other guys are saying.
