Let's be realistic--what do you know about any NBA team after three games. Orlando's 4-1, and the last time they started 4-1 in a season, they wound up barely scraping into the playoffs.
However, judging by the WAY Boston is winning, I'm thinking they'll be tough to beat this year. But health is going to play a large factor--I think if one of the big three goes down for a little while, they'll survive, but if Garnett or more than one of the big three are out of commission for any period of time, they're in trouble with their limited bench.
Ultimately though I think this team makes the playoffs and has a chance to go far.

Three games isn't a lot to go on. But it's nice when a veteran team with a lot of new faces can start out like that. You really can't ask for much more, can you?
Probably a better test will be when they lose a game...how do they react? How do they come back in the next game?
If the Celtics can stay healthy, they have an excellent chance of representing the Eastern Conference in the Finals...but it won't be easy..I don't think..
They'll definitely be more fun to watch this year than they've been for the last 15 years, that's for sure!

The celtics are for real, trust me. If you live in the New England area like me & were at the Opening Night game vs the wizards you know what im talking about. Loud- Loud-Loud! Celtic Pride is back!!!
The celtics are for real, just ask the Arenas. Arenas predicted a win, but got crushed. Ask the Raptors who won the Atlantic last year and got beat at home by Ray allen's 3 pt shot. Ask Denver who got RUN OUT OF BOSTON BY HALFTIME. This is a denver team that has high expectations...if this dont prove the Celtics are for real what will? KG is so dominate, it reminds me of his MVP season. Doesnt Allen look like hes playing Jesus shuttleworth again in "he's got game?" Paul Pierce hasnt been this happy since his freshman year at Kansas.
The bench was the question mark, along with Perk & Rondo. Perkins has no pressure since KG is down there with him..but Perkins sure can block some shots and use his big body. Rondo has done everything he needs to (play d & not turn it over). The bench with Posey,Allen,House - big big big factors. Look out NBA the green are coming!

on the real.im tired of hearin bout the celtics but i cant hate on the truth.that team is a real contender in the eastern conference.do i think they have a real chance in making it to the finals.of course i do.but there only good up to there startin 5.that team is weak after there starters.in the east they're a 1 or 2 seed.but in the west they're a 5 or 6.because they come from the east there chances of winning a championship are good cuz they wont have 2 play the nuggets,suns,mavericks,or the spurs. they'll have 1 hard series in the playoffs b-4 da finals and have 2 win another 1 in the finals.they seem lucky 2 me.but they are a legit team put in a weak conference

no person is familiar with is familiar with. I doubt the Rockets. they'll by no skill have a healthful TMac and Yao. The Nuggets would be hard. Lebron has a sturdy group yet choose for a sturdy middle. Lakers would be effective. such as you Wade is mt fashionable participant. Lakers is my fashionable group. Lakers stand of venture of repeating if the win this 12 months , yet i think of they'd choose for a pair new gamers. Spurs ought to get youthful . Celtics have a sturdy group. yet i think of they'll nevertheless have lost regardless of KG. They a pair gamers far flung from prevailing all of it. massive toddler performed properly in KG absence. In some procedures he helped better than KG. plenty wasn't estimated of him which left him a splash open. He made his pictures while they necessary him. Lakers4life

They have made a big improvement and has a ticket to the playoffs however it's to soon to book them for the finals. All it's gonna take is for 1 team to shut them down then all the rest of the teams will have the format on how to play them, right now they are that new video game that everyone wants to see and the players want to prove themselves, they might not get tested til the playoffs.

for now i guess so with the big 3 dominating. however, the weak bench that the celtics have also should be taken into consideration. also, during the long run of the season, the big 3 might suffer injuries. when this happens, the replacements is not capble enough to take over their dominance in my opinion.

you can not tell from just 3 games, thats making premature decisions. But from the talent and ability they ahve shown in the way they dominate people, i have not seen that in along time. They look extremely promising, i think they are the real deal definitely. GO CELTICS

well...the season is still young and the celts are still an injury or two away from a few game losing streak.
with that said, if they stay healthy and once they gain more experience together and figure out who will be the bench supposrting cast...i think theyll be fine.
maybe even rep the east in the finals

The more this team plays together (they are still getting used to each other) the better they should get so they look pretty promising to me! Already a big improvement over the past few years.
