Do you want me to use that?

Sheed Believes The C’s Can Win 72

... do feel that. That was a good team. They had some HOFs on there, but we have a few on this team, too.
Who am I to say this Celtics team can’t do it. It’s realistic that the C’s could win 72 games which would be only 10 more wins than last years C’s team with a banged up KG and with the addition of Sheed. Boston officially has the team with the highest basketball IQ in the league. So lets see how this thing plays out.

Rasheed Wallace says the Boston Celtics can win more than 72 games
Full-Court Press —
Man, I have to admit, I think we are going to occasionally miss ridiculous Rasheed Wallace comments this season. Sheed tells the Connecticut News that the Celtics are going to challenge the Chicago Bulls' record of 72 regular season wins : "Definitely, playing with those three other guys, also combining that with the guys we have on the bench, I think we definitely can. Me personally, I think we can get that Bulls record. You know we have the talent for it. We have the will for it and ... I think we have the defense for it." You sure, Rasheed?

"You can. Because honestly, I really do feel that. That was a good team. They had some [Hall of Famers] on there, but we have a few on this team, too."
A little too early to make statements like that if you ask me, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. Of course, a healthy KG would go a long way in making a run at it.
Just know this. If they start off 23-2 again, there will be another "woundering aloud" post from me.

For the record, the Chicago Bears that year set a few Super Bowl records. Wiki….
“The Bears set Super Bowl records for sacks (7) and fewest rushing yards allowed (7). The Bears’ 36-point margin over the Patriots was a Super Bowl record until Super Bowl XXIV (45). The Patriots were held to negative yardage (-19) throughout the entire first half, and just 123 total yards in the entire game, the second lowest total in Super Bowl history.”

... 'post Rasheed quote' article. For anyone who might be unaware, Friday night I met Rasheed Wallace for the first time and in the course of talking, I asked him about the Celtics’ visit to his home to convince him to sign with the Celtics. It had been said that Kevin Garnett suggested to him that, if he comes to the Celtics, they could be one of the best teams ever. My question was simple. Did he think that was possible?
