Impressive season so far, but can they get 72 wins?

The Celtics appear to be a front runner for the NBA championship, certainly the cream of the crop in the Eastern conference.

The Big 3 are all playing unselfish, controlled basketball, and the bench is contributing and improving mostly each game.

With that said will the Celtics challenge for 72 wins?

Personally I think the number is way too tough to get, but I could see them winning around 70 or so games.

I definitely don't like losing to the Bobcats at home by 12 points.

Charlotte plays the Celtics tough for whatever reason. It took a miracle steal, tip and three for the Celtics to beat the Bobcats in Charlotte, and now the 'Cats returned the favor with a thorough thrashing of the Celtics in our own arena.

Sometimes teams just have your number. Charlotte employed the pick-and-roll with great effectiveness. Nazr Mohammed and Jason Richardson were total beasts.
