So they have this relatively easy run while New Orleans has been going through a gauntlet? ROFL

I think it could happen during that @ PHX, Sac, @ Utah run. Other than that, @ Toronto, @ Indiana, or @ Boston should get it done.

Pheonix seems likely, if not I don't think they'll survive the road trip.

An inexplicable loss to the Lakers is what I'm feeling.

Out of the list above, Boston probably has the best defense to combat against the Warriors

I think they lose on Christmas to Lebron

I really liked what I saw from Boston when they whupped Houston. They really attack the ball and force turnovers.

Phoenix could be interesting. That two PG lineup, Tyson Chandler. Some bigs that could defend outside the paint.

That's the main reason why I want a superstar scorer (like Boogie) in Boston
 
 
We have the number one rated defense according to John Hollinger's efficiency stats. We have four players in the Top 37 in SPG, including Jae Crowder at #1. We have great defense. 
 
Our offense is the reason we are still considered mid-tier, and its because we have one legitimate scorer. Bradley is looking very improved, and on a given day Olynyk, Sullinger, or Amir can get buckets. But in the long run, if Isaiah can't score, we won't win. If we got a star scorer, like Boogie, the Celtics are probably the 2 seed in the East. We need offensive help, because our defense cannot play much better than they already are

I do agree that having Bledsoe is key for a possible upset, but is having Tyson Chandler that much of an upside swing? Only 20% of Golden State's FGA come from the low post scorers (not including Draymond Green). Yes, the Warriors would have a harder time attacking the hoop, but they would have a seriously hard time guarding the wings imo

Have a small primary scorer has always been a recipe for trouble in the NBA, too. If Smart was more consistent on offense that might help but he isn't as of yet. Jae Crowder has been a fantasy stud--an easy start at SF if you want to put high volume accummulators at other positions.
