re: D'ellasandro: Celtics 8th in east

#2 team in the East?  There's a much better chance of the Celtics

Orlando improved, Toronto improved, Bulls improved, NJ improved,
Indy improved, Philly improved, Miami improved... competition
much more difficult this season and many questions about the Celtics.
