We're solely in 3rd place now!

Vucevic just beat the Hawks at the last minute with a game-winning turnaround, so now we're solely in third place in the East!

Great job magic!!!

[Vox_Populi]

At 53 games, I honestly didn't expect the Celtics to be 3rd in the conference. It's been a great season so far.

Without the collapse against the Magic we'do be on a 10 game winning streak.

Except for a few short loosing streaks this year, you have to love this team. They play the best they can with the talent they have, can't ask anymore than that. This team flat out has heart!

+1, my prediction during the preseason was mid 40s win, low 50s if we are overachieving but I did not expect us to be 3rd place...I thought we'd be anywhere in the 6-8th

Great team basketball, great coach. Danny has this team going in the right direction. I still hope we get one more star to play with IT4.

Whoa, that's crazy! Imagine that, "Celtics crush Kings, win 10th straight"

[SHAQATTACK]

Maybe we can

Beat

Bucks

And

Then the great " doc Rivers" .....

[rondohondo]

I predicted 52 wins at the start of the season , then thought it was going to be close after the first 25 games or so . We're back on track for 52!

[GreenFaith1819]

And only 4.5 games out of second, behind TOR.

[mgent]

Yeah dude, we're awesome.

Maybe the refs will give us some freaking respect already.

I did say at the start of the year that once you go past the Cavs, I felt the East was pretty much wide open.

Toronto have established themselves as an elite team and proven last year's record was no fluke, but beyond those two teams Boston are as good as anybody in the East.

Hell, even Toronto and Cleveland are not realistically out of reach.  That win against Cleveland was so huge.
