Bold prediction from Sheed...

**R13** · October 13th, 2009, 11:00 PM

Rasheed Wallace, never one to be bashful, is setting a standard for his new team ? the Boston Celtics ? that seems completely unattainable. He thinks they can make a run at the Chicago Bulls' 72-win season.

Wallace: Oh definitely. Definitely, playing with those three other guys, also combining that with the guys we have on the bench, I think we definitely can. Me personally, I think we can get that Bulls record. You know we have the talent for it. We have the will for it and ... I think we have the defense for it.

[Thomas Halzack]: Do you want me to use that?

Wallace: You can. Because honestly, I really do feel that. That was a good team. They had some HOFs on there, but we have a few on this team, too.

If we're doing an over/under on 72 ? with how competitive the Eastern Conference could be ? go ahead and give me the under for the Celtics.

Wallace says Celtics can beat Bulls? 72 wins - NBA- nbcsports.msnbc.com

He has lost his mind.

Better prediction...

Sheed will have 72 technicals.

You have to have a mind in order to lose it.

Boston is possibly a solid 65 win team, but that's it.

Boston will struggle to win 55 games, book it.

Allen is old, Garnett is getting old, Sheed isnt what he used to be, Pierce is aging fast, Rondo is emerging, but they wont make the Finals nor be a serious threat in the East

Gotta argue that one as they were pretty much there last year without Wallace and Garnett. Now injuries can screw them just about like anybody else, but they should be right there.

Allen showed that he is not the same, aside from hitting shots at the end he didnt really contribute.
Garnett is like Duncan, they will still make an impact,but their best years are passed.

The Spurs have just as much talent as Boston, but they wont win 60 games.
TD>Garnett
Pierce>Ginobli, slightly
Jefferson=Allen
Parker>Rondo
and the C position is a push. Big Baby Davis=DeJuan Blair

It will be more of the same; The Lakers + Artest? SCARY

I'd have to give the F to KG right now going into this season, just opinion and not numbers. Duncans game just collapsed towards the end last season, never seen him play like that before.
