D'ellasandro: Celtics 8th in east

["Josh Ozersky" <jozersky1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

How is that reasonable?  I think it's retarded, and
what's more I now have years of proof to bear it
out.  Why would anyone think that Philly or Detroit
or Indy are better than us, when NOT ONE OF THESE
TEAMS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BEAT US IN THE PLAYOFFS
THE LAST FEW YEARS?  We've punched the tickets
of all three teams; and we've totally reloaded over the
summer.  To say that Orlando or New Orleans is better
than us is a stretch; to say Chicago is clinically insane.

If our defense holds up, and our offense can at least
match last year's anemic numbers, the Celtics are the
#2 team in the East.  End of story.
