Pre-All Star Break Finish For Celtics

Interesting stretch of games just before the all Star Break, all significantly uphill.  How do you think we will fare?Include your reason(s).

I'm going to go out on a limb and say 3-0. Here's why:

0-3 and 1-2 show nothing learned or gained this season on the Celtics part. We are a much improved and much battle tested team over the last 50+ games. If we come in with either of these two marks versus OKC, HOU and LAC, we show regression more than any progress. Don't think we are anywhere near that. It is possible given this run is against 3 West playoff bound teams, but not likely.

Than leaves 2-1 and 3-0. While 2-1 is the most probable, it doesn't show our progress. It also doesn't make a statement we desperately need to make just before the ASG. Remember, the winner of the Finals has already been pre-determined ordained and coronated. So much so, the press will soon start calling for the elimination of the 2020 playoffs as MIL is so far above every other playoff eligible team that actually following through on this year's playoffs is a complete waste of time.

We have recently seen how the media has now taken PHI out to pasture and is beating the dead horse they created to death. The best hope we have that there is indeed another team whose name is not MIL or LA something is to come rolling into the ASG and let the world know we're coming. None of the options in the poll display that immediacy of attention that going 3-0 against 3 West Playoff teams would bring about. While it's all we've got for the games, we do well against the top tier teams. Let's see what unfolds!
