Sheed has gone out and predicted the Celtics will challenge the Bulls 72-10 record this year and is sticking to it.
How many wins do you think the Celtics will have this year? I'm going to say somewhere in the high 60's. Two years ago we won 66 and last year, playing without KG for the second half, we won 62. KG is back, Rondo is still improving, and we add Sheed and Daniels. That has to be worth at least 5 more wins. But all the major competitors are better too, so we'd have to be almost perfect against the rest of the league and throw up very few stinkers to match or beat the Bulls. I'll say 68. And a Celtics - Lakers final.
